      @@commandershepard9601 - Agreed. His explanation of security clearances is wonky right from the start. An E-1 knows that:
      Confidential, the unauthorized disclosure of which would “cause damage to the national security”
      Secret, the unauthorized disclosure of which would “cause serious damage to the national security"
      Top Secret, the unauthorized disclosure of which would “cause exceptionally grave damage to the national security.”
      Those are the three categories of collateral information. Sure it gets more complicated from there but that is the baseline.

    Q clearance is the equivalent of Top Secret, but limited to only the Nuclear field. Just because you have a Top Secret clearance doesn't mean you are entitled to see any Top Secret material.....there's something called Need to Know. And if you don't need to see certain classified material, you will not be allowed to see it, regardless of your classification clearance.

      there is compartments inside of Compartments, a lot of sub categories an each agency more than likely has it’s different levels of compartment an sub category. it’s pretty hard to go into depth with it because they try to make it confusing an untraceable there is security with in security plus a lot agencies you hardly ever hear about unless it’s from a whistleblower usually.

    The president theoretically has access to all classified information, but he would have to 1) know it exists, and 2) have enough information to ask the right questions. In this way the information is compartmentalized as a practical matter even from him.

    There is nothing above Top Secret. You can have SCI which is a caveat on top of TS but it’s not a clearance itself, just a category of information. A Q clearance is the same as a Top Secret for the DoE. If you have a TS with another agency through reciprocity you can probably get it transferred to a Q if you go to work for the DoE

      Accessability and need to know is what separates the clearances, For most Top Secret information the person learning/accessing this information must be in the need to know and have the proper clearance. just about anybody who has a TS/SCI clearance usually has squeaky clean record of course things being permitted in the past because humans make mistakes obviously
