You are starting to see it.
I mean it’s as simple as this….It’s positions for fork lift operators and other heavy machinery operators that get paid a grip for having a TS-SCI poly. These are the types of people who do this work or foreign folks who signed NDAs. Just look at all the classified things that occur daily. Many people don’t know about it. And these are thousands upon thousands of people.
People believe everyone works similar to them. They never worked in underground complexes/bunkers or SCIFS. And people don’t hear about these programs. It’s equivalent to the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) it was classified but people worked there and people also were contracted to support them as well.
I don’t know if anyone is interested as most may know this or may just not care. But here are the type of Intel activities that occur.
Electronic warfare, cyber warfare, physiological warfare, counter terrorism, intelligence which includes electronic, signal, technology intelligence, geographical Intel, open source, measures and signature intelligence, imagery intelligence.
Just about all of these fields require a TS/SCI and the personnel who conduct maintenance on these systems have the prerequisite clearance also.
