A Q clearance is a DOE thing. My Dad has one. Therefore, if, as claimed, this Q has a Q clearance, he cannot be an “intelligence officer”.

Are you saying that intelligence officers cannot have a Q clearance?

[mkmensinger]

“Q” doesn’t refer to Q clearance at the DOE, but to the Q Directorate of the NSA, the one responsible for counter-intelligence and cyber security.

There is an Intelligence Directorate in DOE but it has to do with nuclear weapons & technology.

Nothing to do with Q scribbling.

I had a Q clearance also for a number of years when I worked in that S&T area.

Your Dad is not intelligent?
