I've had security clearance (DV in UK) and a rapist axe murderer could get it. They have virtually no info on anyone and pretty just base it on your likelihood of compliance.
Its easy to game.
- fabulist 12y agoMaybe so. The only person I know with security clearance says that when they have to renew it, people come and interview them, their neighbors, family members, etc. To go to that trouble without checking their internet history seems foolish, but that doesn't mean that they do it. (This is in the USA; I don't know what level of clearance they have, but I know they work on classified projects.)
- allegory 12y agoThey do the same in the UK but you can quite happily run anonymous accounts and be knee deep in anarchy and they wouldn't know.
