    for several years in the early 00’s, the process for getting security clearance involved no background check, just knowing who to ask. they literally rubber stamped it.

    getting a fed job or something still did, but just security clearance, on its own, for anyone? just ask. not even nicely.

      I did a security clearance interview for someone a while ago, and the agent they sent was very polite and the whole conversation ended up being about if my friend pirated media.

      I was very confused and had no idea what his media acquisition methods were, and no idea why that was literally the only thing I was asked during the interview.
