That hasn't been my experience over 20 years. I've worked in multiple SCIFS that didn't handle SCI at all.

So you're using the word 'compromised'. In this context that would mean malware, unauthorized access, circumvented logging, etc. If someone thought this was happening the answer wo…

SCIFs are for viewing TS materials, whether or not they are SCI. Even then, SCIFs are often employed for processing things that are only marked Secret or systems only handling Secr…

That doesn't really make sense. If they had strong reason to believe that the secure comms systems they were supposed to be using were compromised, using personal phones to communi…

Using Signal in this case is wrong and foolish full stop, and the extremely likely reason they did so is so they could escape standard government record keeping compliance (NARA). …

That's not the point. The test giver has free discretion to say either answer is correct or incorrect. You could argue that if the intent was to underline "word" that it would have…

Since 9/11 there's been a shift towards not siloing information as aggressively as before in order to make intelligence failures less likely. Don't know if that was at play in this…

I would argue that the red tape is not so bureaucrats can make more money, it's that Americans have a very, very strong aversion to seeing people benefit from social programs that …

This is why police reform is so hard to achieve. When crime spikes, people are far less committed to police reform. Even when crime isn't spiking, police can just sit on their hand…

The federal government certainly is not adopting remote work as much as they could, but this OpEd is a bit off base. For starters, there are a lot more federal agencies embracing r…

If you fire people hastily but then are forced to ask them to come back because you discovered they were actually key personnel, that speaks to incompetence. The speed of Twitter's…

The fact that Twitter had to ask some of the people it laid off to come back shortly after having fired them says it all about how incompetent and self-defeating those layoffs were…
