According to Lucas, "John" had only to have a "Face to face" and he was in. Surely fingerprints would have been taken earlier in the application process and checked later to confirm the applicant? If this isn't the case then it seems that Blockbuster have a more stringent application process than the securit services??!!!

I've been wondering about that myself!

Either there's one hell of an explanation the writers are gonna give us, or MI5 just has the worst background vetting process ever!! If people like Beth and Deery got knocked out of the process on their first tries just because their psych evaluations didn't work out, how the hell did Lucas/John go this far and end up Section Chief????

If it was just a simple face to face, then MI5 really needs to work on their security! I got more background checks/paperwork/questions when I was enlisting for the military than Lucas getting into MI5!! Heck, my college has better security than MI5 at this rate, even my 5 year old brother's daycare center!!

Either MI5 is just about to become the laughing stock of the whole of the entire intelligence community OR the writers have something up their sleeves.....
