This is sort of on topic. There's a new report in the The Nation online that they're requiring NASA scientists at JPL and Goddard Space Flight Center--who do not work on national security issues, naziflubber or whatever your name is--to submit to detailed FBI background checks. This is supposedly in compliance with a Presidential directive that requires Fed agencies to establish identities of personnel. Note that under the same directive, the DOE is not doing the same sort of background checks on Los Alamos scientists.
NASA scientists suspect that this is Director Michael (what-global-warming?) Griffin's way of intimidating/blackmailing scientists who are outspoken about global warming or other inconvenient issues.
