Security Clearance

[portseven]

How does one go about getting Security Clearance?

Can you just apply for it 'just in case' or do you need to have a reason / sponsor for getting it?

Just some of the large goverment projects often call for contractors, but you need Security Clearance.

Another permie wishing he could be a contractor, but just can't be arsed as it's all too much hassle. Or perhaps you are one of those contractors who like to go through and umbrella because it's easy and you get to claim all these expenses without incurring them.....
