When I applied for a security clearance I had to admit all of my previous wrongdoings, with the exception that I didn't need to report any traffic violations whose tickets were less than $200. My application was rejected, and so our security officer brought me and my manager into her office and said "okay, what did you lie about?" I honestly couldn't think of anything I'd lied about, but she refused to tell me what I'd done wrong. Eventually I remembered that I had to pay a $50 fine for underage drinking when I was 20. At this point she looked at her report and said "No, the problem is that you got two speeding tickets that you didn't report. Wait. What the ****? Who gives a **** if you got two speeding tickets?" She refused to admit that she was an idiot/******* for grilling me over two speeding tickets, but fortunately my manager was there to point out to her that she was an idiot/******* for grilling me over two speeding tickets. I had to submit a letter apologizing for not reporting the two speeding tickets that I wasn't supposed to report, and then I got my clearance.
