31. The entire federal govt classification system
Tue Aug 21, 2018, 03:57 PM

is crazy. Not only do too many people hold security clearances, but way too much material is classified that doesn't need to be. I've held confidential and secret clearances and went through the top secret clearance process before the program that required it was canned. You can't really forget what you know and there are plenty of ways to discuss a problem involving classified material without disclosing actual classified material.
