The definition of SCIF:

I KNOW I KNOW!!!
That’s where JOE BIDEN stole classified documents found in his garage.
Thank you. My husband spends his days in a scif. Everything is compartmentalized. There is a reason for that. It should be obvious.
Every cabinet member gets a security clearance. But they do not go through the background checks that normal folks do. They get it because of their position.
Think about some of the past cabinet members. Nobody gets complete access and with good reason. THEY DON’T NEED IT to do their jobs. The education secretary does not need to know where our subs are. The agriculture secretary does not need to know about covert SEAL missions overseas.
Remember when Hillary, FLOTUS, got access to those covert files found on her bed in the WH? Blackmail!
You may like and trust this group of cabinet members, but can you say the same about others we’ve had or possibly will have?
It’s Need To Know for a reason.
Exactly—if you don’t know about a compartmentalized program/operation you cannot even ask the correct questions.
That is one way the Deep State got totally out of control over many decades.
That is why this issue is so important and why I started this thread.
You do know that lasers can be used to pick up sound vibrations from window glass from a distance right? If the SCIF had a window it was not secure.
They do need total access to do their jobs.
Otherwise you get a “state within a state” accountable to no elected or even Senate approved official.
You have a country run by unelected bureaucrats.
What a stupid post. The DOE secretary doesn’t need to know where the subs are? So it follows then that the AG doesn’t need to know what is going on at the FBI? WHERE DID YOU LEARN LOGIC?
Lol—I was thinking the same thing about the window.
That spy technology is many decades old at this point.
Yup. Talking tough and being tough are very different things.
I’m still waiting for one person to be arrested. And there have been plenty of opportunities.
The AG owns the FBI, actually. The FBI is the investigation department for the DOJ which the AG is the secretary.
Good story! Thanks for posting.
O do not read carefully.
You have no idea what a scif has access to, do you? Your remark reflects that. You should be more careful in speaking about things you know absolutely nothing about.
Fortunately, I don’t have to correct you as your ignorance of security and scifs is ... Obvious.
You are, as they say, unteachable.

This interview on Benny Johnson podcast with a former FBI agent, Kyle Seraphim, now whistleblower, is very enlightening. Kyle speaks on the corrupt rogue FBI and the attitude that they are above the law and operate outside the parameters of our US constitution and government.
Benny's longer live show that day has lots more details, this is an excerpt from that.
Good post—the deeper issue is that many other intelligence agencies and other little corners of the bureaucracy think they are untouchable as well.
They all need to be touched by President Trump and his designated cabinet officials and department heads—if we want to get our country back.
Gaining control over and full access to all SCIFs is one part of getting that done.
Had you not mentioned it, I probably couldn't have answered what the opening was from my memory.
I also had no idea that the NSA is similar either, since I have never had the occasion to enter into the NSA, but why does that not surprise me in the least? 🤣
USAF1985 mentioned in his comment that they had white noise generators.

"Suppresses wall contact microphones, window laser systems and wired microphones inside walls, voids and air ducts."
A cabinet head is responsible for their department. If a cabinet head decides they have a need to know, then they have a need to know. A subordinate doesn't decide that.
Did not know that about the ventilation ducts.
One of the ones I worked was ok because the whole project team worked in the scif.
On another project, I’d routinely be the only person in the room. I did not like that.
Interesting thing. When Northrup Graumman bought TRW, they closed our offices in Sunnyvale, CA. The main building for classified work was totally torn down because it was cheaper to do that than try to take out the scifs.
You don’t have to have a safe for the documents inside a scif. They can be left out.
Btw—thanks for mentioning SCIFs in contractors.
The same issues apply—we do not want rogue contractors answering only to rogue bureaucrats.
