Oh, come on! This is the DoD we are talking about, you won't be allowed access to your own desk drawers for six months until the security clearance has been re-run!

The password policy that annoys me. Must be at least 15 characters, must include upper and lower case chars, special chars, numeric chars, special/numeric chars cannot be adjacent, no part of the password can form a word found in the dictionary, you can't use a password from a list of the 24 most recent passwords, and you have to change the password every 30 days.
By the time you find a password you can use, it's time to change your password again.
You would think that I was going to have access to nuke launch codes...

And it isn't any fun programming the crap that checks that either. I think you also forgot you can't have more than 2 repeated characters in a row and you can't have progressions like 'bcde' in it.
I use the make up a dirty sentence about the wife and use the first letter of each word method and stick the year and a special at the end.

No biometrics? A fingerprint scanner would be easier / quicker?

A biometric scanner can be defeated rather easily.
At one company I worked for, they bought one of those shipping container data center pods, and installed a thumbprint reader for access. I bet the boss $500 that I could crack it in a week. The next day, I noticed that he drank from his coffee cup without using the handle, so I dusted his cup with graphite, and used a piece of scotch tape to lift his thumb print.
On the 2nd day, when he entered the pod, I was sitting there cruising the web on the "secure" machine.
He removed the biometric crap the next day, and installed a combination key-pad/card reader, and paid me $500 in cash.

There is an option on some readers for 'liveness detection' but that reduces ambient light rejection.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That password series contains words. No workee.
I've seen variations of this:
QWERTYUqwertyu!1
and this:
!QAZWSXEDCqazwsxedc1

I didn't mention anything classified. The data itself is what's controlled.
