Common Sense

When I retired from work I had to turn in my key to my office. That made sense as I was not going to have to use my office anymore. At the same time I had to turn in my card that got me in and out of the employees parking garage. Again that made sense as I was not going to have to use the employees parking lot anymore, as I was no longer an employee. And finally I had to turn in my picture I.D. badge that had previously allowed me access to any locked door in the building and also permitted me to ride the employee elevators. This also made sense as I did not need to be able to access certain areas of the building now that I no longer worked there.
This was all common sense!

If I had decided to come back and do some part time work, then I would have been reissued a new key, a new parking badge, and a new photo I.D. If one is no longer actively working, then clearance for an office, the parking garage, and certain elevators is not necessary, and can only potentially lead to problems. I will bet that nobody out there will disagree with me on this as it is common sense. In addition, for safety’s sake, I should not be allowed to keep that for which I had no legitimate use.
So why is the keeping of security clearances any different? If one is no longer actively working for the company (the government), then the keeping of a security clearance is not necessary and can only potentially lead to problems. Actually I was quite surprised to learn that it is Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P.) for every Tom, Dick, or Harry to retain their security clearance long after they have stopped working for the company. WTF? This is not common sense.
On 8/15/18 President Trump took away the security clearance of the former CIA Director, John Brennan. OMG! Why in God’s name did he still have one?
“As the head of the executive branch and the commander in chief, I have a unique constitutional responsibility to protect the nation’s classified information, including by controlling access to it,” Trump said in a statement.
To me this is just another example of Donald Trump using common sense! I would, in fact, go much further. I would say that if someone is no longer actively working for the company (the government), S.O.P. should be for that person’s security clearance to be automatically cancelled after one month. If that individual should again require a security clearance at a later date, he/she could apply to have it reinstated.
To me this just seems like common sense!
