National Security Language Initiative

[Chris B. Clough]

Unfortunately, the agencies in question have a perceived need for
secrecy, which puts the idea of freelancers out of question. The costs
implied to issue security clearances and amount of work entailed to
conduct a background investigation are such that they want a long
return on their investment.
In light of this, the restrictive policy on issuance of clearances is
the primary hindrance, in my opinion. I would not venture a guess as
to possible solutions.
