Salaries are dependent upon the amount of experience, education (to include certifications), clearance level, and whether the practitioner is federal or private sector. A good combination of these can get a CISSP with 20 years of experience a salary in the 120s, and a federal security clearance (Top Secret or higher) has been shown to be worth an additional $20k to federal contractors.

The field of computer security is critically short of people, and the U.S. government has mandated these federal vacancies be filled under direct hire (if you are the best candidate in the pool, you are hired without need of an interview). Even before this announcement, and the formation of U.S. Cyber Command, computer security experts were the second highest paid professionals in the field of I.T. (behind certified I.T. Project Managers).
