It seems clear that the chink in the armor of the National Security State is the fact that a lot of normal human beings-the kind that have consciences and know right from wrong- are given access to state secrets. It can’t be avoided. We need drones to handle this stuff.
There is only one solution. Increase the salaries of the people handling national security stuff by a factor of about 1000. That will raise the compensation to levels high enough to attract the intelligent sociopaths that would otherwise become hedge fund managers. They would have no compunctions about the work they would be doing, and the secrets would remain safe.
