RE: Searching for Canadian IT Security agencies....

["Oftedahl, Douglas" <DOftedahl () chittenden com>]

what can add scads of time and effort to these investigations is when the snoops find either quite derogatory info or 
conflicting info about their subject. 

the former usually causes them to dig deeper and the latter causes them to dig deeper and to broaden their 
investigation.

Either of these circumstances can mean that the snoops will be talking to folks you may have forgotten about.

the snoops have no stake in their findings. if you're really bin laden or a saint in waiting it's all the same to them. 
they simply give their findings to an adjudication board and the board grants or denies your clearance or the board 
asks for more info b-4 making a decision.

good luck,
r/dougo

For top secret, you can expect them to go through your whole history:
credit check, criminal check, interview of neighbours and references,
psychological examination and polygraph test, plus the 'standard'
interviews. As previously stated, it takes a long time...
