Security clearances have always been a head scratcher to me. Doesn't the publics awareness of security clearance levels make it less effective, as it implies something of importance is being hidden? Wouldn't there be levels of clearance that are undocumented?
Secondly, how do you balance keeping secrets and telling enough people to get things done?
Finally, is the president even aware of most secrets? It doesn't seem productive to tell a president everything.
Being in the intelligence community must feel like you are in a psyop within a psyop within a psyop. Never truly knowing wtf is going on.
The VAST majority of security data is boring. It's not interesting or conspiracy related at all. It's only relevant to military operations and is only of interest to our adversaries. However, it must still be secured to it's relevancy. The only way to do that is to label it. The only way to get people who can handle that data is to assign them a label and investigate them to see if they are to be trusted. If anyone knows of a better way, I would love to hear it.
