Unlikely name. NSA contractor arrested Saturday for leaking classified information. She had a history of flakiness, including a posting about whiteness is racism, or some such malarkey. She was an Air Force veteran. The newsies haven't said what kind of discharge she had.
Question: How did somebody so flaky ever get a security clearance? Did who ever granted her clearance talk to her former Air Force commander? And how did she keep her clearance?
Another Question: Why was a contractor given access to this classified? What was their need to know.
Seems to me, NSA has lost it's grip. Back when I was a NSA contractor they gave us polygraph tests as part of gaining a clearance. NSA was the only place I was ever at where they inspected your briefcase on the way in and out of secured areas. Letting "Reality Winner" (is that really a name?) in and giving her the run of the files makes me think NSA is getting sloppy.
