Days like today make me so happy that I only have one more background to get through before becoming a civilian for the first time in a long time. I think that Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh may have had it right back when I was a kid.
Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees
A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze

On the one hand, this should have been implemented a while ago.
On the other hand, it's the feds so it's bound to be abused.
For my PR two years ago, investigators asked if I had all the typical social media accounts and some colleagues were even asked for usernames and pwords.

On my last PR they asked me the same questions and when I told them I don't have any of the ones they mentioned the investigator was shocked and started trying to break me. My answers got considerably more curt after that. I cannot wait to see if they are going to include a poly with my final like was suggested to them recently. If they do I hope that it is capable of doing urinalysis at the same time because I am going to donate a sample then drop the mic as I head for the retirement office.

If the Chinese have our data, does it much matter that Big Brother does. Maybe OPM should contract the Chinese to do the monitoring... monitor
