Thought the same myself. There was a skunkworks documentary a long time ago with engineers who worked on the program. Their cover was TV technicians or something else bland. He said one time he was approached by a women at a bar who was way out of his league. She was pushy and questioned about his work for a while. The engineer always thought it was a test by the government.

- bsder 4y agoIf you were married, this would likely be blackmail material. Occasionally, though, it does work like you say. I think there was some Asian(?) politician that they tried to blackmail after something like this, and he basically said: "Hey, could you send me a copy of the sex tape? She was smokin' hot, and I'd love to have the video."

- wil421 4y agoIIRC correctly you can lose your clearance for adultery. The guy was married.
- notch656a 4y agoJohn McAfee (a known liar, so take it with a grain of salt) claimed in one of his interviews he gained and kept a clearance despite adultery and drug use by being brutally honest publicly about it all, so he was utterly unable to be blackmailed.
- zepppotemkin 4y agoyeah, lying and trust are much more serious
- Kalium 4y agoYeah, that's plausible. They don't care about drugs and adultery. They care that it's leverage. If the world already knows, it's not leverage.
- NegativeK 4y agoSounds like a pretty reasonable test. I've heard from multiple people who worked in the nuclear weapons industry that said that the random, way out of their league women stopped hitting on them once their clearances expired.
