The US Office of the Director of National Intelligence has a official number – 4.9 million as personnel with a government-wide security clearance.

A 2009 report  estimated that 2.4 million.

A 1995 GAO report offered an estimate of 3.2 million for 1993.

 

Thats a lot of relatives to visit, school teachers to track down, friends to interview, state and federal databases to search…  sealed state court records found?

Tracking users…. via a  ”proof of concept” product that was not sold to any clients?

Private sector and public sector getting around ‘walled gardens’ find what?  Security risks?

Like protesters in front of an East German church – what are the options?

The optics of mass arrests?  Or yet more expensive undercover work.

Could using social media or blog comments about any military operation make you a legal military target?
The Geneva Convention protecting civilians could be removed if a power feels uploading, downloading or sharing is part of the fight. How long before “knowingly providing material support or resources to an entity that has been designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations under section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.” becomes just “providing material support or resources to an entity that has been designated”"

“demanded they not publish material revealing the presence of the Global Hawks”

Hard to hide a drone the size of a 737 airliner if it gets some support for local air traffic control …… and so far south as a “a forward operation location”?

Note the use of civilian ground crews vs the need for a US camp?
