This is something I have wondered about for a while, now.
As someone who has had to deal with security clearances and their effects (trust me, they are a bigger pain than they are worth), just how do you grant a clearance to a convict?
To get access to Secret-and-above classified material, you have to survive a full investigation which means NO arrest record, NO convictions, NO on-going discipline issues, and NO reports that paint you as someone who should not have access to classified material.
This isn't a "solid proof above and beyond" kind of thing, If any part of your background investigation smells a little stinky, you DON'T get the clearance.
This isn't a "gotcha" question, its been an issue since Day Flipping One.
