The idea that there are too many people with clearance is not compelling on its own to warrant what would probably be a massive disruption to our intelligence industry.

What, in this case, makes a government employee more trust worthy than a private company’s employees?

I’m not a fan of privatization for the sake of it, and I worry that the profit motive makes companies ill suited to many services that are necessary, but I can’t think of anything off hand that makes public superior to private in this instance.

cost, maybe… but would they “retain the talent” as they always say?
