Like the time that guy in DC totally folded himself into a suitcase and died of suffocation. Or the time a guy got so drunk that be bludgeoned himself to death. Definitely a suicide or accident. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/jasonleopold/putins-media-czar-was-murdered-just-before-meeting-feds I understand that sometimes it makes sense to bury stuff for intelligence/counter-intelligence purposes, but they really picked a doozy to blow off.

pmchem posted:Unless things have really changed, I think you may be referring to a NACI / public trust, not a Secret. As far as I've seen, Secret still takes months and a regular investigation, although an interim can be granted before it's completed. I was a medic in the AF and I had to get a Secret clearance. Only reason I could ever think of was that I theoretically had access to the President's medical records and poo poo like that. Otherwise, no idea, but I know that it helped me to get a job after I got out.

We hired an experienced printer tech for my team and his loving secret took 7 months go through. No interim was given. Poor guy finished all the online training in the first few months then had to sit on his rear end and just wait.

I'm beginning to think I'm the only one here that never needed even a secret clearance. Humvee TMs aren't exactly classified, however.

Way back when, all commissioned officers had to get a Secret. I presume it's because we dealt with planning, deployment timelines, etc. I honestly don't think it was more stringent than the kind of background check private companies can get today. There were some shady fuckers with bars on their collars. I remember the COMSEC chief in my signal battalion frantically looking for an officer to hand the fills to when we went to the field. She had a tough time because no one wanted to sign for that poo poo and deal with it. It was like everybody skipping on a check at once.

In the Army, it's common for anyone working in a company or battalion HQ to have a secret, because pretty much all operational information is classified secret. Stateside, the computers and everything are kept in a proper SCIF, but that's obviously not easy to do in a tent or wooden shack on a FOB. Battalion consolidated all of the medics under supervision of the PA (despite our TOE having one line platoon), and thus they were all required to have a secret clearance, because every desk in the Battalion TOC had a SIPR and CENTRIX laptop.

I was a 4A0 that had to get one, but as we were usually the ones running the Readiness Section and MCC/EOC during exercises it made a bit more sense.

En route air traffic controllers all get Secret clearances. I thought it was all controllers but I'm not entirely sure on that. Assuming it's because we're privy to presidential/VIP movements and some military stuff. It got me TSA pre-check.

Elviscat posted:AFAICT (not very far, I'm a lowly SECRET clearance haver) the handling of TS/SCI didn't change appreciably between my first deployment in 2014 and my last one in 2021. Obviously smart phones are excluded from the ER, and any of the typical locations on the boat that handle/generate TS poo poo. The one big change is you have to factory reset your phone before coming in to port (and yes, you have to "practice" by doing it during workups too) because The Adversary might use the chip that changes your screen orientation to track the ship's movement Having Radio get in trouble is no Bueno. They're supposed to hide you so you can get unfettered sleep.

Tried to confirm to him the company wouldn’t notice or care but that alone was exhausting.

A billion years ago in the 82d, Secret was needed to work radios, with TS supposedly required if you worked the ANCD. I don't think I had either; I know with 100% certainty I was required to sit in briefs that I didn't have clearance for. I've also been given verbal orders that I didn't do what I did. My favorite was attending a brief where I was searched by armed guards before entering the briefing tent surrounded by mounts of C Wire, leaving everything but my ID. Inside, I was issued a single sheet of paper and a pen for notes- which were confiscated and sealed in burn bags. I was the only person below E6. I had no clearance that I am aware of. Another time, while wearing a sterile uniform, I accidentally walked into a briefing room that should have had the door closed, even if it is in a 'secure' area. No one stopped me from walking past the perimeter of PFCs

Dumb basic civilian question about highly-classified docs - is it ever the the case that they exist only in paper form? e.g. perhaps written up with an airgapped machine (or heck, a typewriter)? And with an audit trail strong enough to ensure they only stay in written form?

This includes massive files like geospatial intel (I did some switch upgrades at an intel agency years ago that were running 10G fiber to the desktop for this reason). Print-outs are only ever used for presentation handouts or theft of government secrets. psydude fucked around with this message at 17:47 on Sep 1, 2022 |

I was never in but once volunteered to be interviewed by an FBI agent regarding a friend's Clearance to "work behind a locked door behindanother locked door". Fairly run of the mill questions with the exception of things like "Does he have a drug or alcohol problem?" and "Does he have any ties or sympathies toward terror groups?".

Biden's going to give a prime-time address tonight calling out "MAGA Republicans" as a direct threat to the US. On one hand, water wet and this isn't exactly a shock to anyone, but I don't really see how Biden's going to lower the temperature or somehow peel off a significant number of the 70+ million who voted for Trump in 2020 by saying they're a threat to democracy. Also, who's gonna make the next thread?
