Much of the footwork is done by private companies. The one I'm familiar 
with the most was actually bought by the Carlyle(sp) group. So the Bushes 
own the data on all the people with security clearances :-)

>From wikipedia:
"US Investigation Services USIS was formerly a US government agency that 
was privatized in 1996 as an employee owned stock company, now owned by 
Providence Equity Partners."

So I guess it was sold since then.

Our country is a joke.
