I was in line at a federal government office the other day. A security guard was present, and shortly a second security guard came in for a shift change. During their overlapping time, one mentioned to the other that he had a security clearance, and the second asked why he didn’t apply to work at the FBI. The first replied that the FBI was WAY over on the other side of town, and he couldn’t see commuting 50 miles a day during rush hour. Then the conversation got interesting.
They discussed the fact that they had already been notified that “trouble” was anticipated in the days after the upcoming election, and they were attending meetings to learn about how they might deal with it. They moved on to other small talk, but this certainly made me wonder what the concern might be.
Yep. I've been telling everyone I know that this is not going to end well.
