Top-secret clearance checks falsified - Washington Times

There are several projects at Northrop Grumman that require that the employee has a Top Secret security clearance.

According to this article the government has been outsourcing the background investigation to people.

Problem: some of these folks will falsely state that an interview has been conducted when no such interview had occurred so as to fraudulently take money from the government for no work done!
