Would they really know if you were truly in a sensitive positions? I’m sure janitors, food service workers, and front desk people went through the OPM process.

Would they really know if you were truly in a sensitive positions? I’m sure janitors, food service workers, and front desk people went through the OPM process. There are probably a lot of people working in government buildings that don’t even use a computer.
- mox1 5y agoThe SF-86 is an incredibly detailed document. I would agree they aren't after low level people in sensitive positions. But that document lists family members, past residences, perhaps previous crimes, etc. Its the same document from high level people down to the janitor. Its extremely useful from an intelligence perspective. Allows you to connect A LOT of dots.
- wil421 5y agoYea unfortunately I know how detailed the SF-85 is. Luckily it was a public trust specifically for IT stuff not the full blown one but I think the only difference was it looked at 7 year history vs lifetime.
- hereforphone 5y agoI'd argue that a janitor with a TS/SCI + polygraph was working in a sensitive position.
- wil421 5y agoTons of stuff isn’t TS or even Secret. There are a lot of public trust checks with varying degrees of questions.
- ethanbond 5y agoPretty sure being able to get through the front gate at many government facilities counts as sensitive.
