Ohio police raid nets 1000 pages of classified documents

Police in the Dayton, Ohio area raided the home of Izaak Vincent Kemp last month, searching for a marijuana growing operation. During the raid they found 1,000 pages of documents, many stamped Top Secret. Kemp is a contractor working at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center. The center is known for doing foreign exploit work, which determines how foreign weapons systems work and determining any weakness in them.

The documents were classified as Special Access Programs, meaning there should have been extra security measures to protect them. According to government sources, Kemp said that he printed the documents and took them home for safe keeping.

That seems.... very weird.

That no one noticed him doing this is not a good sign.

His defense should be HRC gave them to him. He'll never be charged.


Might get Arkancided, though...

So, they found the official...US Government

- CONTAINER OR CUP -

I mean heck, it was only 1,000 pages!

ETA - Just kidding of course, but did they find any pot????? Or was it the "wrong house"??? **wink**

He should have redacted the 'Top Secret' stamp with a black marker.

I agree, they didn't find them because they were looking for them, sounds like a happy accident.

Even more concerning is that "if" he had clearances AND was growing smokey Joe too, there are also implications there. Might have been a while since his last review huh.

IMO, some of the most unethical people I've ever met would never touch weed.

Stoners are more of a live-and-let-live type... but I guess some of them also feel that a one world government would be a good thing.

They found plants as well.

a reply to: lordcomac

I'd hardly call him ethical considering all the different ways he violated his clearance, and the rules for handling classified materials.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Agreed...

His research papers are on academia too, seems he wrote quite a few papers concerning the use of terrahertz imaging for finding defects in aircraft materials.

Printed the documents and took them home for safe keeping?

Toss him in prison and try to determine if he already sold some of the documents.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Precedent dictates that he was extremely careless without intent in copying 1000 classified documents, if that fails, he simply pleads "I don't recall" then he will be able to keep his security clearance and get a promotion.

I was gonna say the same!


At least he didn't sell uranium to the Russians

You think he would have hid that stuff better, like inside a wall. What a d

He just needs a liberal judge and file a motion to suppress on grounds the warrant didn't specify classified documents. Even if the judge doesn't suppress, he'll have fairly good odds at appeal, unless he accepts a plea bargain.

I am glad I am not that guy.
I wouldn't even consider pulling
the bullchit he did.
If the accusations are with merit,
that fool is in a world of hurt.

I'm glad I'm not the TSCO. Heads are gonna roll regardless of if there is merit or not.

Have a great 4th yourself.

"Kemp said that he printed the documents and took them home for safe keeping."


If you worked at the mint and took some printed material home for safekeeping would that be ok, too?

What difference, at this point, does it make?

Did they check his bathroom for a server?

Or did he already wipe in there?

Like, with a cloth...

a reply to: pigsy2400

The guy clearly qualifies as suspicious. I'm surprised the government doesn't go pulling credit to look at peoples DTI at least once a year. That would raise red flags on potential leaks.
