Isn't every potential US president scanned from tip to toe?
- krapp 13y agoOne would hope, but by the press and the American people...
- peterwwillis 13y agoTo get security clearance, yes.
- jasonjei 13y agoNot elected officials like the President. They are exempt from the OPM/USIS investigations.
- dak1 13y agoThe President doesn't need a security clearance. His or her election gives him/her the ultimate security clearance.
- Zigurd 13y agoThat implies that if a candidate could be denied a clearance they would be disqualified from holding office.
- roc 13y agoSecurity clearance involves being wiretapped these days? And how would that remotely explain Powell, who would have been cleared to the highest levels decades before this program?
- CWuestefeld 13y agoBackground checks and surveillance are two different things.
