In regards to the FBI, it is more likely that they actually do OWN the servers, and that they exist on a secure facility rented by the FBI, but run by contractors. That's usually how it works, anyway.

It is still screwy.

It's all in perspective. I'm not sure what happened at that particular facility, but every other facility I've worked at are pretty locked down. So locked down that it's often ridiculous.

I hear yah but my concern is this...are private contractors held to the same legal standard and expectations as those who take the oath?

I [name] do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.

The security clearance process is the same whether you're military, civilian, or contractor.
