Just out of curiosity, what *would* disqualify one from getting a
security clearance? Criminal convictions, obviously, but what else
matters? Bankruptcies? Radicals in the woodshed?

I once had a coworker who claimed that her activities in the 1960's
would prevent her from ever getting a security clearance, but she
never specified what those were.
