White House’s ‘insider threat’ program targets federal employees for surveillance

In an effort to prevent another Bradley Manning, the Obama administration is urging all federal government agencies to watch its employees for signs they may be leaking classified information.

In a memo dated Monday, Jacob J. Lew, the director of the White House's Office of Management and Budget, directed government agencies that deal with classified information to ensure that they are in compliance with secrecy rules brought in after WikiLeaks' release of classified material.

The document (PDF), which was leaked to NBC less than 48 hours after it was written, urges agencies to develop an "insider threat program" that would monitor employees for "behavioral changes" indicating they may be leaking classified documents or be willing to do so.

5. They ALL need their heads examined,

as well as their urine, blood, and rectums... and don't forget the full-body scans and retina scans... might as well insert RFID chips into them too in order to keep track of them.

Politicians cannot be trusted with ANYTHING!
