Creepy... "top secret america"

[stulid]

This video has no substance whatsoever.

All it basically says is there are lots of secret government agencies and some of them have private offices with trees outside.

With Commandos the size of bears!!!! sounds like southparks Half-man/half-bear/pig

There's a difference between secret clearance and top secret clearance. Most DOD/military people have the basic clearance.

For top secret clearance they travel around the country interviewing your friends, family, old school teachers, old work colleagues. Sometimes a polygraph test. It's very thorough.

That's DV Clearance. It has nothing to do with necessarily getting access to 'top secret' gubbins.

By doing a DV clearance you are then cleared to top secret clearance

They don't nuke the people.

That's what I just said you cretin.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Only for what you need it for though... Unless you are 007.

Charming, read it again you cretin.

I have "SC" security clearance in the UK. Official Secrets Act and all that. Must inform the Home Office if I intend to travel to a number of countries.

I can't go somewhere, flash a badge, and look at stuff.

It'll be just like it is over here - IT staff supporting systems which hold sensitive information etc.

Correct, im in the same boat, to get over SC in this country is a hell of a thing and not cheap either!

the us government can listen in on all your phone conversations whenever they like without a warrant....

I feel sorry for them! Who would want to listen in to millions of women talking to each other about Eastenders etc

Are you saying you wouldn't find it creepy if you were driving through your average office park in Scunthorpe or Burnley and you saw a building with massive satellite domes on the roof, and swat team with assault rifles guys roaming around outside?

It's not the fact they exist that's creepy but the fact there are thousands of them in office parks and next to burger kings. Like she said "hiding in plain sight".

And I would guess about 30 million people hold a security clearance in the US, but 900,000 have a TOP SECRET clearance.

Exactly. You cant just pop in for a cuppa with Sir John Sawers on a whim.

The one where he got 'detained' or whatever was not in an average office park. I would not find it at all creepy if I was snooping about a top secret government office and that happened. I'd be expecting it and as soon as I started watching the video I thought they were a bit foolish for snooping about these places.

I remember signing some 'Official Secrets Act' in the early 80's when I was a young Air Cadet away at some RAF Base for Summer Camp but I can't see how Legally binding it would be as I would have been 14 or 15 at the time, they'd captured some Mobile Argentinian Radar thing from the Falklands that they were making it operational again and we were allowed to go have a muck about with it as long as we all signed the Form to say we'd never seen it (Oops!) I remember it had real bullet holes in it too

 

[Rroff]

Pretty sure one of the things about the OSA is your not supposed to say you've signed it.

Having top level clearance doesn't actually give you access to anything per-se, its just the background checks before your allowed to work on specific things, etc.

All you idiots posting about your clearances - do you realise that non disclosure is a requirement to keep it !

It just shows that people will sign anything without reading the small print.

I once did some on site data disposal work for the MOD in a previous employment, can't really say much. Had to go to some anonymous grey building in the middle of a normal industrial estate. Got patted down on the door, which I thought was odd, and let in to the unit. To my amazement the warehouse was chocked full of...


Would love to tell you, it was a real eye opener!
