It's an employer policy, and it has nothing to do with the passport or no-fly-list. In normal circumstances, flying without declaring his travel would put his clearance in jeopardy and he'd have federal marshals waiting for him upon his return. Similarly, he'd have security officers checking up on him at home if he failed to show up at work on time (and failed to answer the check up call).
- Jabbles 13y agoIf he failed to show up for work, officers would be sent out of concern for his wellbeing. The whole point of banning him from leaving the country is to try to prevent him "defecting". Waiting for him to come back is pointless. He's already not allowed "to defect" - so not allowing him to leave the country is stupid if no one is going to enforce it. Finally, when your employer is the NSA, I figure they'd have different/special rules. Do any non-governmental jobs forbid flying due to "policy"? defect may not be quite the right word - flee?

Right, but it's dishonest to pretend that's the only motivation. > The whole point of banning him from leaving the country is to try to prevent him "defecting". Waiting for him to come back is pointless. He's already not allowed "to defect" - so not allowing him to leave the country is stupid if no one is going to enforce it. Preventing defection takes a lot of different tacks (social pressure, education, threat of prosecution, etc.).
- chiph 13y agoThere can be corporate policies that forbid two or more key employees from flying on the same plane for fear of losing irreplaceable knowledge & skills if it crashes.
