Hello,
They likely already have them.
My local DEF CON group is composed mostly of active-duty military and defense contractors, many of whom have jobs that require TS/SCI and polygraph. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the discussions in the group revolve around getting CPEs and maintaining certifications.
This was a surprise to me when I started going to monthly meetings a couple of years ago, but in retrospect is probably more of the norm than an outlier: Hacking has gone from a niche subculture into a multi-billion dollar computer security industry, not just having to deal with 1980's cyberpunk threats like corporate espionage but a part of military doctrine for nation-states. It makes sense that the jobs, and the people who do them, followed those paths as well.
