Overview:

Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) requires a Federal standard for secure and reliable forms of identification, as further defined by Department of Commerce regulations. Secure and reliable forms of identification must be:

Issued based on sound criteria for verifying an individual's identify; Strongly resistant to identity fraud, tampering, counterfeiting, and terrorist exploitation; Able to rapidly authenticate electronically; and Issued only by providers whose reliability has been established by an official accreditation process.

The official line. I also have a friend in NASA security that sez congress has already investigated it twice and both times said they were operating within the law. Whiners

This doesn't seem to be a whole lot different than getting hired at NASA during the 70's we had FBI agents visit our neighbors and ask about us.

My husband got a black security badge in the late 70's or early 80's and we went through the same thing again. It's what you have to do to work there.
