You'd be surprised how many of these people are open about having a TS/SCI +poly clearance.

A good (unanswered) question might be just how many people who've worked for Booz Allen Hamilton (as listed on LI) *don't* use classified keywords compared to the number that do. People tend to think that LinkedIn is a safe environment to be open about their past work.

Even with higher privacy settings enabled, anyone with a paid Recruiter account can see everything. ~Griffin Softy wrote:
