I always interpretted "minimium wage" as "cheap to bribe and often effectively anonymous" in the objection in security contexts as that tends to matter more than lack of attention or aptitude. More of an argument to the opposite that the company should be either treating the access to the secure data/job better or promoting more loyalty. Plus any form of validation/licensing/training (say like bonded couriers for example) essentially requires both being paid for and the marginal cost encourages raising the rate so they don't change jobs as readily means it is no longer minimum wage even if it is still low on the worker totem pole.
