The reasons aren't obvious. Even a thoroughly and properly vetted individual might have still leaked information after seeing the crimes being committed by the US Government. Only if Snowden had some criminal past or ties to foreign governments that were overlooked would there be obvious responsibility on the part of USIS.
Some serious title gore. In what way is Snowden passing a security screen and going on to leak info an "obvious" reason the vetting company should be fined?I Timeline:
1. Great government employee easily passes security clearance screen.
2. Government employee has life-altering event
3. Government employee acts out against government due to life-altering event.
Seriously, how could the security agency tell the future? Obviously Snowden saw this data and that was enough for him to turn. Regardless of what Snowden did, a company shouldn't be liable for the future if there are no obvious reasons for failure.
Actually performing background checks would’ve been something of a start. USIS isn't being punished for Snowden, they're being done for massive fraud.
