This is one reason why we screen people as best we can before they are allowed into the Intel community. It is also why we re-screen everyone every five years.
The process isn't perfect but it is the best we have achieved so far.
If there is a downside it is that the American public must act as the screeners for our political overlords. They run the show, as it should be.
During my time in the community I got to meet and work with some of the best and most upright people you would ever want around you. There was the occasional stinker but they were few and far between.
