I don't have a security clearance but one day in the middle of the night I accidentally ended up at the Belarus/Polish border due to a faulty bit of navigation software (Thanks, TomTom). I'm pretty sure that that had absolutely no effect whatsoever (I had no visum anyway and it's not like you just waltz across that border, nor did I want to) but at the same time if I would have a security clearance I'm fairly sure that there would have been some effect. When you are operating at that level you should be a lot more careful about who you are buddies with and where you visit lest someone decides that maybe it is time that you lost that clearance.

Reasonably politely pushing back on these has got my post not only downvoted to oblivion (after upvotes) but then flagged (!!) while of course the guy who was abusive in return, no problems.
I know you have written eloquently about HN in the past, but I think that site is gone. And I remember because I've been on it for over a decade. I joined an early stage start up on it.
Sadly, they give no means for deleting your account. But thought I'd flag to you anyway.
Anyway, I will be abandoning this account, but it's maybe something for other HN old timers to think about.
I had similar experiences suggesting covid had natural origins. I'm not sure the culture that HN possesses is the same as the one it alleges it desires.
Anyway, last post from this account. I am sure this one will equally be nuked... :)
