For sure. Fair point.

My understanding is that the "regular process" is pretty rigorous (background checks, calls to family members, etc). So, I would take a "former comms dir"'s tweet with a grain of salt.

I’ve been through the regular process for NSA and it is indeed rigorous.

I know many friends with top secret clearance and I would say it’s reasonably rigorous but nothing crazy in my opinion.
