We all had to do it. However, the geniuses at JPL fought it. No conspiracy here at all. Free speech is never free. Well I know it wasn't you who held me down Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free So often times it happens that we live our lives in chains And we never even know we have the key - Eagles |

Is something HUGE going on with Mars that NASA and the Department of Homeland Security DO NOT want the public to know about? Quoting: Spatakus 27765643 yeah. rover aint there. Fine, but it has nothing to do with the increased security background checks that ALL NASA employees were forced to submit to. Had nothing to do with Mars. Free speech is never free.

Most of the engineers and scientists are private contractors. they probably felt it was a violation of their privacy it is basically DHS beginning to pseudo-militarize nasa |

Espionage and leaks, it is purely a technological and scientific issue. Domestic and foreign espionage is certainly an on going problem, with the rise of technological developing countries like China and India it is not surprising really. And there is a heightened state of paranoia to control information over the last few years which adds to the security issue. |

Repeal the 17th Amendment and the Reapportionment Act of 1929! Thread: First steps down the road to a return to the Constitutional Republic that we were intended to be. Restore the Republic. Thread: The Bill of Rights does NOT include age requirements! It's a flower, not something to be feared. - Moo! |

Why on earth wouldn't big brother want to know who is on the roster??? I mean ya mars could have something... But clearly they need a security clearance to keep the information about "special projects" classified... Not to say this is the "right thing to do" But to say that im glad they dont let just anybody work at nasa... If I owned nasa I would probably do the same thing. |

We all had to do it. However, the geniuses at JPL fought it. No conspiracy here at all. People who are smarter than you didn't want more government intrusion into their lives. Those people ARE Americans and don't need a rectal probe to find out if they are patriotic. You may bend over all you like, if you don't see the problem. |

They probably already had top secret clearances through standard checks in the past. They've been in the job for 30 years and suddenly they are untrustworthy? |
