Racists and antisemites should NOT be able to obtain security clearances. When I was a gov employee, I had a polygraph for my TS/SCI clearance renewal. Questions on racism and antisemitism were not asked - this is a security risk.
@Bix And it's a far bigger risk today than it was, say, 30, 20 or even 10 years ago, bc these people *know* it's wrong, and they'll do anything to avoid being caught.
@Bix And therein lies the leverage.
@Bix right and much less a 21 year old offered access to top secret documents! Too young and we all do stupid things at that age. It's mind boggling that these secrets are not better protected. What's happening at the NSA?
