You neglected to mention the obvious: not everyone who refuses these agreements will be denied badges or employment.

Some people will refuse, and they'll still be issued badges anyway. Others will not have exceptions made for them. You can guess who will be who.

More importantly, guessing is the best you can do— the decision to waive will be left to the discretion of politically appointed managers on a case-by-case basis. Hmmm. One wonders what factors will go into their decision process.

See, this is why I refuse to take U.S. government contracts anymore.
