I think there is a procedure for security clearance. I think the 9/11 commission made recommendations that cabinet members of new administrations be names asap after elections so that their security clearances can be completed sooner

After 2000, election which took longer than usual, the dems were so angry that the slow-walked the confirmation on a lot of Bush's appointments which put him way behind. I don't know if it was well documented but I think that is one reason given for some of the missed messages leading up to 9/11, which wasn't blamed on Bush. The just thought that the transition of administrations should be quicker.

Isn't it ironic that Kerry's cabinet picks would probably get a lot more scrutiny that Kerry himself. They have to be voted on a passed by the Senate. I don't think Kerry would be.
