IANASpy either, but I've worked on some cleared projects. Clearance (and need to know) _is_ what we use to determine what someone can look at. If a co-worker needs a document, I verify that he's cleared for it, then I give it to him. There is no alternate system where I can look up: "Bob has a Top Secret Clearance, but also a spy so don't share anything with him."

When in fact it just means that it might not be illegal to give you access to particular documents. Parent is getting at the fact that it is entirely possible to have a Top Secret clearance and never be granted access to any interesting information.
