SECRET security clearance is interesting because it's so wide spread you wonder how can anything be secret, but its because everyone that gets the clearance is basically boyscout material and also the criteria is 1) do you have any debts? 2) have you cheated on your wife and she doesn't know? If the answer to either of those is uncomfortably high in volume then you don't get the clearance. Otherwise, you are a person of enough honor to protect the secret password and dont have enough leverage out there for the russians to use to leverage you. also the terminals are in secure places.

another funny item was that our server rooms had dial combos on them to get in but you could just pull up the floor tile where the wiring runs and just slide in the 14" crawl space to go under the whole frame and pop into the room. those doors prob cost the gov like 30k$. another time we got these 250k$ SPARC racks with data arrays in crates parked in the server room to prepare for a large project expansion. they sat in the room for like a year unboxed till it was announced that the thing was cancelled so the BRAND NEW servers got wheeled out right to DRMO brand loving new and unopened SPARCS with fiber arrays in the giant gray and purple cabinets running solaris 9

We had to send something off to be professionally printed a few weeks ago. For some reason we have to put the PDF on a cd and ship it to GSA and then GSA has some weird process for bidding the printing out. I probably asked my boss four or five times if she was sure we had to mail a CD with a 1MB file on it because the whole situation was breaking my brain.
