These two in particular had Top Secret clearance. Another guy cleared to the gills (NSA, CIA, CPB, DOD) was a huge apologist for every enemy of the US you might bring up. I overheard him discuss how Condi Rice's own family didn't like her and on and on. Another individual joked about how we should nuke Utah and Texas and how sympathetic he was to the plight of the illegal alien. He was working for Customs Border Protection and one would have thought he'd have been more concerned about the plight of keeping illegal aliens out of the US.
The most strange thing that happened was having Phil Landfried call everyone at the building up to the top of the Kingstowne building to chastise the well educated well paid (several million dollars in salaries were there that day) in their hygiene habits. It turns out one of the well cleared individuals was getting crap all over the place in the restroom and not flushing and many people were leaving trash and sanitary napkins in inappropriate places. It turns out with all the cameras and even after installing security swipe locks on the bathrooms they had failed to catch the offending individual in a period of over two years.
I marveled that if they couldn't catch the secret sh***r it is no wonder they couldn't catch illegal aliens. I did know many good people. My boss was a conservative and a good guy and the border guys from the field were good too but they were outnumbered. The group think in Washington is horrible. They need loyalty tests more than credit checks in DC.
Here is a picture posted in the restroom. lol
“They need loyalty tests more than credit checks in DC.”
DC needs a total house cleaning from the ground up.
Those are some disturbing stories. Wow.
What’s funny about the bathroom story you tell isn’t just the CIA’s inability to catch a dump leaver, but the psychology behind someone who would do that or do any of the other nasty things you mentioned, like leave tampons or trash around, because it shows people who have a contempt for others. People who are well-mannered (and normal) don’t trash a common area unless they are selfish misanthropes, not the type of people we need in a field where dealing with people is instrumental to doing a good job. They sound like a bunch of miserable bastards driven by infighting and turf battles who literally shit to mark their territory (like animals).
Amazing isn't it? You'd think if you can fill out the paperwork for a clearance you can figure out how to flush the toilet? I feel your pain, everyday...
