BREAKING: The system for handling classified info is BROKEN. Congress must fix it.
I’m introducing Defending Our Classified Secrets (DOCS) Act, which requires federal officials, within 30 days of leaving office, to certify under oath that they possess no classified documents. It would also require a tracking system for classified documents that have been removed from a secure location.
@RitchieTorres this doesn't do anything substantiative.
If you want to fix the classified system you need to find a way to ensure NARA and specifically ISOO are properly managed & funded.
1. Ensure that proper data mining is maintained
2. Control how classified information is shared
3. Improve the classification system to ensure that ONLY the documents that need classified are actually classified. Classified documents should not be defacto.
4. Revamp the way the DCSA gives security clearance.
