Adminstration Warns Fed Agencies To Be On The Lookout For Despondent And Grumpy Employees
The Obama administration is telling federal agencies to take tough new steps to prevent more WikiLeaks embarrassments, including instituting "insider threat" programs to search out disgruntled employees who might be inclined to leak classified documents.
As part of these programs, agency officials are being asked to determine ways to "detect behavioral changes" among employees who might have access to classified material.
A very detailed 11-page memo drafted by U.S. intelligence officials and distributed by Jacob J. Lew, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, suggests that agencies use psychiatrists and sociologists to measure the "relative happiness" of workers or their "despondence and grumpiness" as a way to assess their trustworthiness.
The memo was sent this week to senior officials at all agencies that use classified material.
Also be on the lookout for employees who are Happy, Sleepy, Bashful, Sneezy, and Dopey. And tall, pale, white women with black hair who like apples.
