>>It's not a closed system, but it is definitely a very broken one. I
had a job a few years back contracting for the Defense Security Service
on a software project designed to modernize the clearance process...and
the government canceled the program.

Yes it's broken. It's even worse because government purchases large
amounts of commercial off-the-shelf software. While the software comes
from US-based vendors, it is developed wholly or partially overseas. I
can't believe someone at the Pentagon isn't worried about that. If the
evil doers ever infiltrate those outsource locations, we're really
screwed.
