No; any number of family & friends know I have a clearance, and I've
seen TS and other credentials referenced on many resumes that have
come across my desk. But at most locations where employees have high-
level clearances, that clearance is validated by a badge swipe and a
pin number for access. If you're visiting from another organization
you will be given a temporary badge and pin number after your
security officer sends your clearance information (via secure network
or fax) to the host organization.
All of this makes it pretty cumbersome to extend the trusted status
of people with security clearances to airline travel. I doubt that
the "three letter agencies" will want to share their personnel
security databases with TSA or the airlines.
