Jerry,

That shows the difference between industry and government. I work in the Aerospace industry (now on a program with DOD secret, but formerly on SCI projects). If you want an SCI copy, the security department makes the copy, creates a record of the copy, and you go and sign out your copy from them. If you don’t turn in every thing you signed out, there is a small inquisition. There are audits, briefings, awareness all the time.

No wonder you call it “the five sided funny farm”. I have hear the closer you get to DC the more lax the standards become. I’ve been at CIA and DIA HQ and have seen some of what you are talking about.
