It's partially George Bush's doing - he put a rule into place saying the government had to hire more contractors. Fits with the GOP plans to weaken the govt to enable tax cuts for the wealthy, but the increasing use of contractors has been bad for security.

Full time federal employees take a different oath and generally feel more loyalty to the agency.

Ah, maybe not. Watch the film "A Good American". It's out on Netflix.

People are people. Govt employees can have agendas that are bad for the rest of us just like contractors.
