This doesn't surprise me. Government agencies tend to hire people based primarily on the fact the individual has a top secret clearance. This drastically cuts the talent pool and allows people that have gamed the system to get the job. Sometimes legitimate experience is cast aside for the mere fact a person has a clearance. I know so many people that because they have a clearance have a cushy 6 figure job with a great title. I've talked to people that are System Admins and Analysts and I can tell they have no idea what they are doing. They got the job because they knew somebody, embellished their resume, and have a clearance.
