http://www.state.gov/m/ds/clearances/60321.htm
Holding a government security clearance is a privilege, not a right. The adjudicative guidelines are established for all U.S. government civilian and military personnel, consultants, contractors, employees of contractors, licensees, certificate holders or grantees and their employees and other individuals who require access to classified information. They apply to persons being considered for initial or continued eligibility for access to classified information, to include sensitive compartmented information and special access programs, and are to be used by government departments and agencies in all final clearance determinations.
Guideline E:
Personal Conduct
16. Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying also include:
(1) untrustworthy or unreliable behavior to include breach of client confidentiality, release of proprietary information, unauthorized release of sensitive corporate or other government protected information;
**
Sharon Moreno breached the confidentiality of protected legal evidence and information obtained during forensic discovery of computer equipment.
(3) a pattern of dishonesty or rule violations;
**
Sharon Moreno has made sworn allegations to police, documented on police reports, about phone calls from Michael Basl. Sharon later changed her story and claimed the calls were from TJ Sadler.
**
Sharon violated the rules of Fairfax Underground and was banned by the site administrator. She also condones her son's multiple repeated violation of his own ban.
Guideline I:
Psychological Conditions
27. The Concern. Certain emotional, mental, and personality conditions can impair judgment, reliability, or trustworthiness. A formal diagnosis of a disorder is not required for there to be a concern under this guideline. A duly qualified mental health professional (e.g., clinical psychologist or psychiatrist) employed by, or acceptable to and approved by the U.S. Government, should be consulted when evaluating potentially disqualifying and mitigating information under this guideline. No negative inference concerning the standards in this Guideline may be raised solely on the basis of seeking mental health counseling.
28. Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include:
(a) behavior that casts doubt on an individual's judgment, reliability, or trustworthiness that is not covered under any other guideline, including but not limited to emotionally unstable, irresponsible, dysfunctional, violent, paranoid, or bizarre behavior;
**
Sharon Moreno traveled from her home in Loudoun into another county to stalk a young woman. Arriving uninvited and unannounced, Sharon Moreno sat on the curb for over an hour. When asked to leave, she refused and insisted that the person she was stalking was in fact harassing her.
Guideline J:
Criminal Conduct
30. The Concern. Criminal activity creates doubt about a person's judgment, reliability and trustworthiness. By its very nature, it calls into question a person's ability or willingness to comply with laws, rules and regulations.
31. Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include:
(c) allegation or admission of criminal conduct, regardless of whether the person was formally charged, formally prosecuted or convicted;
**
Sharon Moreno instructed the Leiser Law firm to send a fraudulent bill in an attempt to collect money from someone who was under no obligation to pay.
Guideline M:
Use of Information Technology Systems
39. The Concern. Noncompliance with rules, procedures, guidelines or regulations pertaining to information technology systems may raise security concerns about an individual's reliability and trustworthiness, calling into question the willingness or ability to properly protect sensitive systems, networks, and information. Information Technology Systems include all related computer hardware, software, firmware, and data used for the communication, transmission, processing, manipulation, storage, or protection of information.
40. Conditions that could raise a security concern and may be disqualifying include:
(a) illegal or unauthorized entry into any information technology system or component thereof;
