There's a difference between the TS/SCI clearance - and SCI compartmentalization security model for secure projects or information - and whether you need a generalist programmer / network programmer to solve the problem within the compartment or a specialist. One can have very generalist problems within a very narrowly defined security compartment. One of my main hobbies, if done as a day job, would require TS/SCI clearance plus an additional level; it requires about 8 or 9 major scientific and engineering disciplines to master. -- -george william herbert george.herb...@gmail.com
