The government seems unable (and unwilling) to differentiate between whistleblowers and „insider threats.“ „Dissatisfaction with US policies“ would seem to be a trait inherent to whistleblowers, but that‘s right up there at the top of the list of warning signs for insider threats. The FBI claimed it had this whistleblower/threat problem sorted out, abelit in the worst way possible: requiring whistleblowers to „register“ in order to avoid being caught in the „insider threat“ dragnet. But no one can get any details out of the agency as to how „registering“ whistleblowers encourages whistleblowing, much less how the FBI handles these registered whistleblowers. When asked, agency officials simply walked away from the conversation.
