It makes sense that some folks may not have favorable opinions of government employment. At the same time, it's worth considering alternate perspectives, too. Any single grunt worker has little hope to sway the trajectory of top-down mandates at federal security agencies. Even if the individual disagrees with the decree.

Should similar forms of micro-judgement stemming from macro concerns also be applied to candidates from other industries such as adult entertainment or legal cannabis operations?

If you think those things are as immoral as what the NSA does (I don't), then yes, that seems like a conclusion you might reach.

But it doesn't actually matter: we're talking about "are there people who believe this and will that belief negatively affect me", not "should those people believe this".
