[Trei, Peter]
Tell that to the thousands forbidden to leave the nations
which claim or claimed to own them, on the basis that they
once had access to state secrets.
The thankfully defunct Soviet Union regularly forbade
dissidents to emigrate, on the basis that at some point
in their lives they had had access to 'sensitive' information.
I have no doubt that similar restrictions could be put in
place in other nations.
