The police have long discriminated against anyone with too high an IQ: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/jordan-v...

Meanwhile, the FAA is currently looking for applicants with "Severe intellectual disability" as you can see from: https://www.faa.gov/pwdp

This older case has also been going around lately - https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/4542755/brigida-v-unite... - in which people cheated on a biographical test that 90% of people were expected to fail in order to pull in fellow organization members.

So I think the real answer is that many of our public agencies have been selecting against competence for quite some time now.

They gave people "applying for FAA jobs, the correct answers to select on the BQ as well as key words to use on their resumes in order to be selected by FAA hiring personnel"
