USAF Contract Lacked Security Clauses

Via UPI.

The U.S. Air Force issued nearly $1.7 billion in computer networking contracts between 2004 and 2006 without clauses to protect classified information.

While some of the omissions were corrected last fall, the contracts still do not require the contractors to disclose whether they are owned or controlled in any part by a foreign government of a "terrorist country," and neither do they require background checks and identity verification for contractor personnel visiting government sites containing classified information.
