Define major?

Our former senators and house members were pretty safe and well regarded. Our current... yet to be seen.

Pretty much anyone from the mayor of a large city, to President. I read a stat that said Obama was receiving an average of roughly 30 death threats a day.

I'm in the military, have deployed and signed NDA's, and entered combat zones on airlift missions. However, I haven't deployed in over five years. I now teach and have access to the government network, but I do not currently handle any top secret material although I have had clearance to do so in the past. As a potential asset, do I warrant the amount of threat required to be able to protect myself I'm just trying to help goof determine where the line is, if I'm above or below it. Hey, there's the solution right there! We'll all apply for our second amendment rights and it'll get forwarded to papa! Call Obama dude, we need your services.

What's your exposure level? Would anyone be able to easily figure out your clearance, unless you actually mentioned it? Do you have any actionable knowledge?

Give me $250K a year and I'll think about sorting through that crap.
