The problem won't be easy to fix, but it could benefit from better employee monitoring and 'some very aggressive creative and sensitive education.'

The government’s failure thus far to fix long delays and dangerous imprecision in the government’s security clearance and vetting system is one of James Clapper’s greatest regrets from his time in office, the former Director of National Intelligence said Wednesday.

America’s Security Clearance System Is Broken

That has been patently obvious to anyone who knows how those things are supposed to work for quite some time now!  Giving clearances to people like Barack Obama and Valarie Jarrett didn't help matters either!

Isn't Clapper one of the breakers of the system?
