Is this true? All of my PV and enhanced and various other bells and whistles appeared to be carried out by ex-officers or ex-police officers and seemed to me to be very thorough.

At the other end of the process, whenever one of my people was up for vetting, again the questions asked of me were searching.

Have things gone down the pan, and, if so, why?
