Otoh, to get acess to sensitive projects (even thiose that are only commercially sensitive) usually involves some sort of background check, restricted access, and an assumption that the operator will leak information.

What I found amazing was that there were no allowances for drug misuse, but I could be an alcoholic and have a monster clearance. WTF?
