I used to work for DHS as well, in the same capacity that I have worked for the Federal Government for close to 20 years now. This article fails to articulate how EASY it is to invalidate these and deactivate them. This is a matter of laziness, on all levels, especially the personnel security department of these offices. Which is sad, since THEY issue the cards, and THEY are the ones that hammer home to the recipient the “importance of deactivating your PIV card.”

What an utter joke.
