| | Because of a governmentwide demand for clearances, nearly a quarter of the active air marshals had not received their top-secret clearances as of July 2003; but by October 2003, only about 3 percent were awaiting their top-secret clearances. | | | Obtaining final top-secret clearances has taken longer-- sometimes up to a year--and as of July 2003, nearly a quarter of the active air marshals were still operating under interim clearances. | | | First, the open-ended exit interview may not prompt responses that go beyond generalities, such as taking another job or personal reasons, to determine whether management issues, such as problems in transferring to a duty station closer to home or burdensome work schedules, contributed to the air marshal's resignation. |
