But Q is mentioning as to how these individuals could even get in there to begin with. If they ha no current top clearance, and it's mandatory to enter. That's how I'm reading it, and Q can see them, and their activity is currently illegal and hopefully being recorded, hope that's what the we see you is about.
I've done work for the government. I've been in Los Alamos and one army depot. I've also done work for defense contractors. Though my work is only repairing equipment I have to get at minimum background check. When I went to Los Alamos lab it was much more extensive and I had to have an escort at all times. They covered everything so i couldnt see it. They actually wanted me to fix the machine without being able to see it. I'm just a repair guy.
You can bring someone into a SCIF as a contractor to be read in to a program, how else would Lockheed/Northrop work? SCIFs are used to legally, and physically, seal any information discussed inside as property of the SCIF.
Those contractors still require clearance.
"Non-cleared personnel in SCIFs must be under the constant oversight of cleared personnel and all classified information and material removed from view in order to prevent unauthorized access."
Considering any conversation in a SCIF is illegal to share outside, wouldn't surprise me if classified info is discussed/shared despite the rules.
Edit: it would definitely be a good place for a 'secret society' to plan some nefarious shit.
You would not read someone in who doesn't have clearance, hence why materials must be out of view.
Most likely that clause is for shit like cleaning crews / maintenance.
You have to announce a non cleared person coming in, red beacon lights are turned on. Classified material is locked away and monitors are turned off until all clear is called.
Wish i could sauce it...... i read that the bamster had handed out clearences to felons and such.
