Trump drama aside, automatically revoking security clearances when people leave office seems like a sensible measure, and a good way to defund the intelligence consultancy complex, which my cynical mind says is one reason people are yelling about it so hard

there are many people who work on projects that are funded by limited time govt contracts. these people are often jobless for weeks/months between funding. should they lose their clearances during that time? I'm aware of STEM/IT type jobs, but I imagine there are many others

This gets into a larger debate on the size and scope of the national security state. But I have in mind former heads of agencies and other high-ranking people who go on to cash in on their access after retiring from government service.
