1 in 10 of every American citizen we have surpassed the stasi they only needed one in 30. Sadly i don't want to watch the rest Im kinda thinking about leaving the US were becoming more and more of a police state. Most people will say that having a security clearance is not exactly the same and this is true. However, the economic ramifications of having that many people on the states nipple is disturbing. I didn't even begin to look at the numbers of employees that don't need clearance.
