Seems perfectly reasonable to control this sort of thing. Loose lips sink ships; operational security is a big deal for a spy agency.

I would be entirely unsurprised to learn that the security agencies provide secured bars for after-work drinking as well; drunk lips talk too much. I'd also be highly unsurprised to learn that background investigations are par for employees getting married or living with someone - just as a matter of keeping information leakage to a minimum.

Foreign policy and operations is a very grim and tedious business, and it can be deadly serious. So you should be taking serious precautions.
