clearance is still more about making sure that you aren't a soviet or a nazi than about actuallys ecuring sensitive data

until the snowden thing I dunno if they even really gave a poo poo

I've been interviewed for like 5 different peoples clearances and each time it's been some subcontracted agency who sends a guy who acts like he couldn't possibly care any less about this interview he's doing and it's over in like 5 minutes.

Also every time they've been way, way more concerned about drinking habits rather than political beliefs or nationality

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2014/08/05/google_removes_gaza_games_from_app_store.html
If the deadly conflict in Gaza wasn’t bad enough in real life, there are video games for your phone that allow you to fire your own rockets and drop your own bombs. Google, however, said it was cracking down on Monday and removing some of the most distasteful Android apps from the Google Play store, including: BombGaza and Gaza Assault, among others. You’ll get a sense why they were pulled with this sampling from the Daily Dot:

quote:

First up, there’s BombGaza, a well-reviewed app that puts you in the cockpit of an Israeli jet flying low over Gaza’s rooftops. Aim to destroy any building filled with black-clad, rocket-toting Hamas operatives, but be wary of collateral damage: When you’ve killed too many innocent civilians, a “Rage” meter tips into the red zone, and your mission comes to an end.
Next up is Gaza Assault: Code Red, which invites you to “[t]ake control of an Israeli UAV equipped with powerful weapons in an attempt to secure the region” and rather pointedly asks if you “have what it takes to protect your citizens.” Don’t forget, though, you’re fighting to bring about peace, which is only possible when the enemy’s territory has been reduced to rubble.
