There is no excuse for the "big teenager's" actions, he knew what he was doing was illegal. It is explained very clearly to you when you are granted a security clearance what your responsibilities are towards safeguarding information and the ramifications if you don't.
We have had 19 and 20 year olds making life and death decision in the middle east for a few decades now so he has no excuse for his actions.
The vetting process for a security clearance consists of police record checks, birth records, interviews with people that know the person being investigated and the person being investigated. If there is no criminal record, use of drugs, heavy financial indebtedness, mental health issues or other problems usually a security clearance is granted. What more is there to check? Maybe consulting with a fortune teller?
