Defense Security Service has resumed “processing initial Secret requests” That means DSS is again working on requests for Secret clearances from people who have not held them before. Congressman Davis planned to hold a hearing a week ago on the affair, but I can’t find any transcripts. SANS Newsbites Vol 8 Issue 41: “Security officers” are just paper-pushers.

They hold a lot of clearances but generally do not use the information in a productive manner.”]
