I just finished filling out my Personnel Security Questionaire for DOD. And not only do these questions look familiar, I'd swear the section (or question) numbers are the same.

So here's the way I see it. All Federal Employees (and by extension all contractors, etc.) are now being required to fill out the same Security Clearance forms as someone who is applying for a SECRET clearance. In essence, all Federal jobs are now classified. And I would swear there's a law against classifying things without a specific reason.

But even if this is legal (which I doubt); how in the world will they process that many applications? They'll have to hire more help. Of course, the help will now be Federal contractors, so they'll need to fill out the PSQ and get cleared prior to working...

And let's not forget how expensive this will be...
