In yesterday's hearing the Congress actually brought up the subject of how the NSA determines SECURITY CLEARANCE.
I'll be darn it is FINALLY an issue. It only took about a month to 'get there' when the politics were dissolved in hearings where people capable of governing actually do.
I think Security Clearance needs to start and end with USA government employment. And, yes, the President is in office for less than a decade.
The idea security clearance has to exist in order for the private sector to carry out their contracts is a lie. It is a very CONVENIENT lie. The private sector receives contracts to build things, not to run the government. And certainly not from China.
I can see it now, the F35 is flown not by the pilot but by a computer hacker in Beijing. I don't think so.
Does that "Culture of Fear" exist in the USA military anymore. There are enemies out there, right? Not "Everything Bush and Cheney" is benevolent to this country ya know.

Neglect? Really? Could have fooled me.
At any rate, Bush's brother wants to run the USA educational programs from communist China via computer.
Ain't no way, honey.
But, the economy of the USA military belongs to the sovereign nation and not foreign contractors, with the exception of long lived and loyal allies. NATO means something, with limits.

...Overall, 43 percent support (click here) and 48 percent oppose criminally charging Snowden, a former government contractor. A large majority of those who oppose the surveillance programs also oppose legal action against Snowden (65 percent), while backers of surveillance efforts are somewhat less resolute: 55 percent support charging him with a crime.
Some reluctance to criminalize the matter is driven by liberal Democrats. While 76 percent of liberal Democrats support the NSA’s surveillance efforts, only 50 percent want Snowden to face criminal charges.
Among all Americans, most — 58 percent — support the NSA’s program collecting extensive phone call records and Internet data. The result mirrors a Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll released last week that found 56 percent saying the NSA’s tracking of phone call records of millions of Americans is “acceptable.”...
