True.  I guess that's an optimistic way of looking at it.  If continuous
evaluation/monitoring helps the intelligence overlords to judge people
on current behavior rather than past or anticipated behavior, then it
frees them and their subjects up a little.  When you get the clearance,
you're not claiming you've _never_ done questionable things or that you
will never do them in the future.  But you're committing to not doing
them _while_ you have your clearance. 8^)
