Brian Doyle Had Previous Incident

DHS deputy press secretary Brian Doyle had a previous incident while working at Time.

(The Other WaPo)"It's easy for me to stand on the sidelines and criticize . . . but if there was an incident at Time magazine, Homeland Security above all should have found it," King said. "Homeland Security is our last line of defense, and to be taken seriously, you have to have very, very strict security standards."

So to answer John's question yesterday, no they don't vet anyone.
