1. When I accept the privilege of access to classified or other sensitive information, I am also accepting responsibilities that accompany this privilege.
2. My personal life and what I do on my own time is none of the government's business.
3. If I see a co-worker engaging in improper, unreliable or suspicious behavior, it is none of my business and probably wouldn't do any good to report it anyway.
4. I was detained by local law enforcement officials for possible violation of the law against trespassing. Even though I was later released and not charged, I still have to report this to the security office.
5. Serious depression is usually treated as a medical or performance problem, not a security issue.
6. A co-worker mentioned that he thinks people are following him. That’s a little weird, but he seems reliable so I should give him the benefit of the doubt and not report to anyone.
7. If I seek assistance for an alcohol problem, a severe financial problem, or an emotional/mental problem, this will adversely affect my security clearance.
8. Anyone with a security clearance is strongly encouraged to report foreign travel plans to their security office, whether the travel is on official business or for pleasure, and even if the travel is only to Canada or Mexico.
9. If I obtain alcohol abuse counseling or treatment at my own initiative, through the Employee Assistance Program, I do not need to report this to the security office.
10. Any planned or actual outside employment or activity that could create a real or apparent conflict with your responsibility to protect classified information must be reported to the security office.
