About 1.3 million people, including a National Guardsman not long out of high school, are cleared to look at top-secret documents — raising questions about whether the security clearance process works.
. Records show that Teixeira, an airman first class with the Massachusetts Air National Guard, has been in uniform since September 2019 and was stationed at the Otis Air National Guard Base on Cape Cod. He was employed as a cyber transport systems journeyman — essentially an information technology specialist — which allowed him to obtain top-secret clearance for his work.
More than 1.25 million people currently have top-secret clearance, according to the latest declassified Director of National Intelligence report on security clearance determinations. That count, as of October 2019, constitutes a 3% increase from the previous year and includes government employees, contractors and other unnamed people. New estimates from current government officials put this year's figure at closer to 1.3 million people.
“I obviously know the gravity of top-secret classified materials. We didn’t leak them,” she told the Journal. William Evanina, who served as the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center during the Obama and Trump administrations, said that it is a challenge to stop someone from “bringing documents out of a building and taking them home.” But he said it is possible the Pentagon could expand monitoring of government-owned computers, similar to how the intelligence community tracks keystrokes when users are on classified systems.
