No, this is only the second job that I've had to have clearance. Normally I get
the authority I need just by asking. If my security clearance isn't high enough
to be given the knowledge to understand the processes then they should either be
raised or the company should get someone who has the clearance. It is not as if
I would ever work in the Middle East, anyway.
