Government employees must take annual insider threat training. I bet the Airman First Class that got arrested for uploading classified information to a gaming platform will be a case study in next years training program. I hope he rots in jail. #InsiderThreat

I wonder if the Airman First Class that was arrested for leaking classified info online is a Trump supporter. He might think if the former President of the United States can steal highly classified documents and suffer no consequences, why couldn’t he do it? #InsiderThreat #LockHimUp

News announced the Airman First Class that leaked the classified documents was arrested. For some reason, they keep focusing on his age (he’s 21 years old). His age isn’t that important. Many 2nd Lieutenants are 21 when they are commissioned after graduating college. What’s more important is how he got the documents, which are usually kept in a safe or a SCIF. I’m hoping the investigation reveals the gaps in security and plugs them up. What he did was wrong, and he knows it. #InsiderThreat
