Guest Frank Splitt: My experience in dealing with the human factor in America's security system.

The discoveries of classified documents at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate, at President Joe Biden's former office and Delaware garage, as well as at former Vice President Mike Pence's Indiana home were troubling.

It is beyond my comprehension how the leak suspect Teixeira was able to receive and maintain a top-secret clearance, in spite of his history of making comments about shootings and violence. This was also the time when America was in the midst of a Cold War with Russia and, as so-called scientific Cold Warriors, we felt a patriotic duty to handle work-related classified research documents with the utmost care and respect.

This situation prompts the following question: What is going on with America's inability to securely transmit and retain highly classified information and what can be done about it? To answer the question we need to identify points of vulnerability to information leaks in a communication system designed to be secure from leaks of information to unintended individuals via encryption codes that are essentially unbreakable.

Apparently some of these individuals have been able to gain access to unencrypted information at the source and decrypted information at its destination. Intermediate points of access to the transmission may also be available to these individuals. Such individuals as, for example, Air National Guardsman Teixeira, could also have access to transmission decryption keys.

One such consequence was the unprecedented assault on the U.S. Capitol by paramilitary and other hate groups. Now is a time when, for some, it is more important to gain prestige and/or maintain political and personal power than it is to safeguard our national interests.
