Whistleblowers Advantage
Advantage 1: Whistleblowing –

The insider threat program will be abused by agencies and used to undercut and intimidate potential federal whistleblowers – the reach of the program affects all federal employees creating a chilling effect Washington Post 14 (Scott, Higham writerIntelligence security initiatives have chilling effect on federal whistleblowers, critics say, []) JB The Insider Threat Program and a continuous monitoring initiative under consideration in the intelligence community AND and whistleblower, called the Insider Threat Program a “dangerous” initiative.

And, the effect spills-over to EVERY agency – its targeted surveillance at every potential whistleblower (Government Accountability Project, FDA Surveillance of Whistleblowers ‘Unacceptable’, []) JB ‘Chilling Effect’ Far-Reaching if Congress Fails to Act (Washington, D AND  -scientists who attempted to safeguard the public . //This surveillance is unacceptable// .”
