National Talk Show Guest Registry Takes On National Security Clearance Expert

Feb. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- State Secrets, Top Secrets, Classified Information - while the terms fuel the imagination with fictional plots from movies like "Mission Impossible" and "National Treasure," the reality is that governments around the globe - and particularly a post-9/11 United States - are faced daily with the even more daunting task of determining who should and shouldn't be trusted with access to the country's classified information. The process can be can be challenging and dramatic, particularly for individuals whose very futures rely on whether their clearances are granted, denied or, in some cases, revoked.

"The stakes are high," says Alan V. Edmunds, author of "National Security Clearances - How to Get a Clearance and How to Keep it." “Gaining a National Security Clearance opens up significant opportunities in an individual's career and losing a clearance can mean the end of a career in some fields. What I do is to obtain a secret or top secret clearance for individuals who have been denied by the Department of Defense. The individual stories are amazing, the people are bright and gifted and sometimes flawed - but the challenge for me is exciting and I often win!"

Mr. Edmund's has condensed over thirty years of legal experience into an easy to read book that summarizes the entire National Security process and included important strategies and tips on handling special circumstances. "I travel throughout the United States every week representing the most amazing individuals who have been denied clearances for a number of reasons. These people are among the brightest individuals we have working in the defense industry and for the government." A visit to Mr. Edmund's website at http://www.nationalsecurityclearances.com reveals case after case of victories he's earned on behalf of clients who faced clearance denials over everything from charges of drug abuse to the foreign shipment of firearms.

"Over the last 30 years I have been on talk shows in San Diego, on CBS and featured in many newspapers," says Mr. Edmunds. "This is totally a human interest story as well as a government policy piece on the practices of government that affects thousands of Americans."

Media representatives interested in interviewing or booking Mr. Edmunds may do so by contacting him either through NTSGR or directly by way of his website at http://www.nationalsecurityclearances.com.
