How does a teenager gain top secret clearance to a SCIF?

  They don't. The man working on the government base did and then released it into a chat room that the teenager was a part of.

    How does a man working at a government base get to the point he releases top secret information?

      I'm not sure what you mean. It's not unheard of.

      Untreated and neurotized insecurity makes one look for approval in the stupidest ways, and most harmful places. From the inside, however, the group pressure doesn't feel stupid. I guess.

      Lotta people with clearances these days. Plus the military gets who they get; they can't offshore to India or try to poach talent in Croatia. So that means you get a right-wing nutjob from Kansas. That said, doesn't mean the military didn't screw up a bunch. Chelsea Manning had a long list of disciplinary issues to include fist-fights with superiors, and by all accounts should have had a clearance revoked and/or been booted out of MI. Also can't discount the power of bribes and/or propaganda. Russia and China have been going hard at right-wing sources with the goal of, among other things, stirring dissent and gaining a foothold in the military.
