    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.
