The sheer number of people with clearances who are now at risk of blackmail and other untoward influence has everyone saying how terrible it is. OK. Obviously.
But what about the obvious fix: Pull clearances from everyone who does not need one. I mean really NEED. There are hundreds of thousands of schlubs with clearances only because the paperwork they have access to is classified higher than FOUO. And that classification is the product of self-importance and ass-coverage.
