Financial problems could cost janitor security clearance
By Michael Rubinkam, The Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA — In 19 years of using his security clearance to sweep floors at a plant owned by defense contractor Lockheed Martin, janitor Michael Lynch has done nothing to arouse suspicion.
Co-workers and bosses speak glowingly of Lynch, a brain-tumor survivor who's active in his church, building homes for poor people in Maine and West Virginia.
But because he and his family have struggled financially, the government now sees him as a threat to national security. Defense Department officials believe the janitor may be tempted to sell government secrets to get out of debt.
Last month, they asked a judge to revoke Lynch's security clearance.

Remember the fools that come up with this stuff are experts (from Hamilton U) and are WELL PAID by YOU, the taxpayer, or more accruately, you THE TERRORIST.
If the employees at the plant had any decent security training they know to secure their computers and not leave important documents lying on desks in any case... but wait... we're talking about the U.S. government here. Would a janitor actually know whats valuable anyway? What could he do take photographs of the next generation stealth plane and walk out of the building? Even if you have pictures... they don't tell the really important stuff like what composites went into the planes construction, how the fire control system works.
