[quote]The lawsuit was filed in July 2011 by whistle-blower Blake Percival. He charged that in an effort to meet revenue targets and maximize profits, USIS used a proprietary computer software program that automatically released background investigations to OPM that had not gone through the full review process. The lawsuit says the alleged "dumping" process was spearheaded by the vice president of field operations at USIS and by the company's director of production control.[/quote]

Raise your hand if you're surprised. Anyone? No?

[QUOTE=Medevila;42710905]Snowden is the type of person that probably would've (and may have) passed a full background check, his leaks were more the product of disillusionment rather than some kind of perceptible flaw[/QUOTE]

Despite the article title I'm not sure what it has to do with Snowden, actually. It seems that this is more about corner-cutting exposed by the whistleblower.
