DCSA Considers Changes to SF-86 as it Continues Epic Clearance Reform Efforts

The Capitol Hill riots of January 6 have caused many to question why veterans and some security clearance holders found themselves among those participating. Many have called for reforms to the security clearance process, including updating the SF-86, or changing the adjudicative criteria to make sure domestic terrorism is addressed. 

In a webinar sponsored by the Intelligence and National Security Alliance, Director of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency William Lietzau noted that while QAnon or domestic terrorism might not be terms you see listed on the SF-86, that doesn’t mean the current security clearance process is unequipped to root out extremists and criminals.
