In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents.
The techniques are a key pillar of the Insider Threat Program, an unprecedented government-wide crackdown under which millions of federal bureaucrats and contractors must watch out for “high-risk persons or behaviors” among co-workers. Those who fail to report them could face penalties, including criminal charges.
Obama mandated the program in an October 2011 executive order after Army Pfc. Bradley Manning downloaded hundreds of thousands of documents from a classified computer network and gave them to WikiLeaks, the anti-government secrecy group. The order covers virtually every federal department and agency, including the Peace Corps, the Department of Education and others not directly involved in national security.
Under the program, which is being implemented with little public attention, security investigations can be launched when government employees showing “indicators of insider threat behavior” are reported by co-workers, according to previously undisclosed administration documents obtained by McClatchy. Investigations also can be triggered when “suspicious user behavior” is detected by computer network monitoring and reported to “insider threat personnel.”
Federal employees and contractors are asked to pay particular attention to the lifestyles, attitudes and behaviors – like financial troubles, odd working hours or unexplained travel – of co-workers as a way to predict whether they might do “harm to the United States.” Managers of special insider threat offices will have “regular, timely, and, if possible, electronic, access” to employees’ personnel, payroll, disciplinary and “personal contact” files, as well as records of their use of classified and unclassified computer networks, polygraph results, travel reports and financial disclosure forms.

Bammy is a pure Muzzie Bro leaker.
So these rules were mandated in 2011 and still Snowden could leak info. about Prism. Yet another sign of Bathouse Barry’s incompetence-in-action.
Don’t suspect, report!
Thanks for the Ping. Great graphic! Who’d you steal this one from? ;)

Have fun repeating history useless idiots.
This is the same thing that has been going on for decades, probably longer. You were always told to watch for people living beyond their means, blackmailable behavior, working late or early by themselves, unexplained travel to foreign countries, etc. It was a sign that they were selling classified information.
This has been the policy all the way back to Reagan when I first got my clearance.
This isn’t something new from Obama’s handlers, it’s been going on forever.
it has been tried...
in the soviet union.
it was called the KGB and everyone spied one everyone.
Is that Hillary’s button?!
Yep. Complete with the mistranslation of “reset”.
