How can you hold a security clearance and not have your fingerprints
on file somewhere...?

I know people with French and UK clearances (but not both,
obviously!), and they all had to give up their pinkie prints. I find
it difficult to imagine the good ol' US of A being different.

good person? Maybe, maybe not. But they would never suspect me of
any illegal activity that I might wish to engage in, and my
fingerprints are not on file.

Different database. Law enforcement is not allowed access to the
CIA's files unless the crime is against the government itself.

I thought it was common knowledge that the US government keeps
secrets even from itself! I'd like to claim this is due to amazing
efficiency and mutual best-interests, but we know this isn't the
case. =)
