a Secret Clearance isn't all that strict of a background check, now a TS is a whole different level... just some FYI there.
TS still isn't all that crazy.
A Secret Clearance is pretty much given away to anyone without a felony who has a credit score over 400. TS is much more indepth and it goes higher and higher depending on the Clearance. I've always said it should be more indepth even for the entry level, but the problem arises where your average Janitor also needs a clearance.
After getting more facts on this my ultimate question is why this man had a clearance of any level;
- Previous Eviction
- PTSD
- 1 Gun Charge - Seattle (discharging a firearm in a municipality, a Class A misdemeanor)
- 1 Gun Related Arrest - Forth Worth
- Discharged from the Navy with a pattern of misconduct
Seattle Police Report said:Alexis was arrested after shooting three rounds into the tires of a vehicle that belonged to construction workers. Police recovered casings from the scene. They attempted to make contact with Alexis, but no one would answer the door. Alexis was arrested the following month and charged with Malicious Mischief and discharge of a firearm.
Alexis would later confess to the crime of discharging his weapon for the purpose of shooting out the tires on the car the construction workers owned. Alexis told police, according to the report, that he perceived the victim had disrespected him and he then had a “black out” fueled by anger.
Fort Worth Police Report said:“He said that he was trying to clean his gun while cooking and that his hands were slippery. He told me that he began to take the gun apart when his hands slipped and pulled the trigger, discharging a round into the ceiling,” the report states.
What we have here is a pattern of misconduct, any of these taken individually might not be a huge deal when taken in context but seriously "cleaning the weapon lead to an accidental discharge" what a load of BS. The LEO's involved should have did some more checking.
Whoever did his clearance interview and background investigation is likely sweating bullets right and should be. The Seattle incident alone being a Class A misdemeanor is confusing as hell, I would think shooting at a vehicle with 3 occupants would be more serious.
