A lot of time it's about the person and how well they'll fit in with the current team.
Ability is important but the ability to get along with the team in place is sometimes more important. Skills can be learned

I don't see how 18 U.S.C Sec. 793(f). is relevant - The articles laid forth in that were sanctioned by her position with in the cabinet position she held at the time.
The marking of classified material is the responsibly of the sender

Face it he's a rapist in that cant leave an embassy do to the possibility of being extradited to face charges.
Secondly he's not even a US citizen, he is however a threat to US national security.
I put him in the same league as Putin, an outsider that wants to see the US crumble

Love the full rich sound that digital doesn't provide.
if I need to take Music on the road with me I either record to mp3 or I still have a tape deck
Streaming sounds like garbage and ruins the experience

You are out with your significant other and have a sitter at home watching your precious clones and an emergency pops up and you need to be contacted.
What then? will they stop the show and broadcast an announcement for the parents of child xxyy?

This person was "known" to the FBI and Local authorities
He was known to have been sympathetic to ISIS by the FBI
He had been brought up on charges of domestic abuse.
He was known to be unstable.
There is no reason he should have been able to get a license to carry let alone, have been able to purchase a weapon.
The problem is that he could have been flagged as a person that should not be able legally to purchase weapons or ammo.
We have a national registry for firearms we just don't use it correctly
That being said the black market would be the place he would turn to, to make a purchase. In this case the seller of the weapon should be held accountable for actions taken with said weapon

Its not a bout giving up freedoms - its about power companies being lazy and not password protecting their equipment

Having worked in an industry that monitored critical infrastructure equipment, we used to keep these behind firewalls in an RFC 1918 space.
The reason why they are connected is that these SNMP and Modbus devices are passively monitored for accuracy, trouble issues, power usage and capacity, But lately there has been an increase in active configuration through derived equations to shed loads , remotely start and stop generators, HVAC systems, etc...
Not having them password protected is an epic fail

Though that maybe true, there are some that end up there for reasons other than child exploitation.

I wonder how many of those 11,000 unique visits were accidental or a product of phishing(goatse.cx)
Now granted I think this is deplorable and disgusting (think of the Children!)
But I think they need to really scrutinize the data that they have so that innocent mistakes/typos/bad linkage are not falsely accused
