The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported to the senate that the designations of security clearance for federal employees and government contractors is not clear or consistent with regular reviews and reassessments. Today, according to the article, 5 million people have security clearances. Senator Jon Tester, chairman of the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee said " It only takes one individual to slip through the cracks". The ineptness of the Government today is astounding. As the Government grows in size, the problems keep increasing. It sounds almost criminal not to review and reassess who is holding a secret or top secret clearance in the Government on
a regular basis.
