[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have many friends with clearances, particularly who work at State/USAID. By nature of their careers, these people have travelled abroad a ton and have many foreign contacts (and sometimes foreign relatives).  The only person I know who was denied a clearance was a friend who is the most innnocuous sweet person with no foreign relatives and very limited foreign travel.  No one could figure out why on earth they denied her.[/quote]

If she was keeping a secret you can be denied. I know someone who was denied because she wouldn’t tell her family that she’d had an abortion - the abortion itself wasn’t the issue, it was that she kept it secret. It’s an issue of whether you can be bribed. [/quote]

What? Some of the stories and perspectives on this thread are crazy to me. My clearance process was nothing like this. How would anyone even know if I have/haven’t had an abortion? People take this so weirdly seriously. Just live a normal law-abiding life and follow the rules and there shouldn’t be any issues.
