I am for going back to extreme security measures when you could actually track who had access to Top Secret information by the form they signed on the front of the document! Ditto hand receipts for Secret!

When Clinton loosened the security requirements, this was destined to happen.

When Clinton loosened the security requirements, this was destined to happen.

I will forever wonder just how much damage he caused in 8 years. Sec. Of The Interior Hazel O'Leary followed his direction and did just that, w/ a smile. I believe they removed the color codes which kept people separated at Los Alamos among other places. I can't fathom that type of thinking: "I'll just loosen the security requirements and give our information (illegally it turns out) to China,Loral,James Riady and they in turn will give me money for my re-election campaign in 1996". What a very,very jaded and horrible sociopath of a man he remains and how he can sleep at night is beyond me.

Oh, the sad stories I could tell you of what Clinton's laxness on security meant.

I'll give just one.

I was at a briefing for a follow-on system to the one I had worked on for 8 years. Up came a slide on the screen that was not only Top Secret, the darn thing was code-worded. I immediately made my way to the Admiral and his "science advisor" who were in the center of the auditorium.

That slide was quickly taken down.

But the same was true of the next screen. At that point, the Admiral stopped the briefing and announced that all slides would be reviewed before continuing.

Is this the end? No. All the programmers at the contractor who won this contract away from the development contractor were allowed to work on the software in Unclas mode. Only when the system went operational was the security level raised, and by then, the programmers and the personnal at that company now had the appropriate clearances. Trust me when I tell you that there were algorithms and other parts of the software that required a TS clearance.

I can't tell you how much I hate Clinton. Words fail me.
