This reminds me of the old argument for barring homosexuals from serving in sensitive government positions. Why? "Vulnerable to blackmail." Why vulnerable?

This reminds me of the old argument for barring homosexuals from serving in sensitive government positions.
Why?
"Vulnerable to blackmail."
Why vulnerable?
"Because they can be fired if the word gets out."
So what are you doing about it?
"Firing anyone we think is vulnerable."
