HSPD-12 Fight Continues

NASA employees continue HSPD-12 fight, FCW.com

“Employees at NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory got an ultimatum last year: Submit to new, more thorough background investigations or leave the agency. Twenty-eight JPL scientists, engineers and administrative support employees instead took their employers to court. The plaintiffs and some observers say the ensuing legal battle has raised questions about the federal governments background investigation methods and the constitutionality of the trigger event: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12. The process also exposed the agencys laundry list of workforce problems, union officials say.”
