True. I guess that's an optimistic way of looking at it. If continuous evaluation/monitoring helps the intelligence overlords to judge people on current behavior rather than past or anticipated behavior, then it frees them and their subjects up a little.

But you're committing to not doing them _while_ you have your clearance. 8^)
