Security Clearance
So I get a call at work today from the Secret Service.
No kidding.
A small group of us have been invited to the White House in a couple of weeks to see my friend Robert get invested as the new Ambassador to Algeria, and we all have to go through a security clearance.
Date of birth, Social Security, Driver's License Number, Passport Number, etc....
If it wasn't the Secret Service, then my identity has just been stolen.
When I lived in Columbia, no one knew what our neighbor across the street did -- he always said "I work for the government" -- until someone was watching tv, and there went the President, with our neighbor behind him with the little ear piece thing.
