Hate to generalize, but just gonna say it as I see it: if you have the insignia of the Russian General Staff prominently on display in your bedroom, USG probably shouldn't give you a TS/SCI and let you wander round the IT networks where the JCS daily brief is freely available for you to print out and take home

Him: can I have a gun?

Cops: yeah sure why ... wait, hold on a minute, whoa, holy shit, no, you're off-the-deep-end crazy. And we'd normally let *basically anyone* have a gun

DOD: would you like a TS/SCI clearance and unrestricted access to the JCS brief

Him: OK

* two years later *

DOD, in hot-dog costume: Look, we're all just trying to work out who did this, ok

@Pwnallthethings @memory In most towns in MA, you have to work at it to get turned down for an FID card.
