Why do the secret police want to question you?
We've applied for jobs with a government contractor, in order to work for them you have to have a Top Secret security clearance.
Good luck with that, Tesla.
I think Amy and you are right to be honest about your personal lives.
If you get top secret clearances, then I think they would be more concerned with whether you would be subject to being blackmailed because of your background than with the exact details of it anyway. Also I think you should be prepared to have your telephone calls monitored assuming that you get the job, so having nothing to hide will be a good thing.
I know that my husband's and my private telephone calls were monitored, because they called him in and played him a recording of one of them and asked him questions about it.
Be sure to drop phrases like 'Red Fox has dropped the package' and 'black dawn is coming' into your phone conversations. The people who monitor the calls need something to relieve the boredom occasionally.
