I got a BA in International Relations from the dear old BYU, and somehow the CIA failed to hire me. Probably because I became a real linguist instead of a “linguist”, which is what they used to call an “interrogator”. But this article from BYU NewsNet explains why the campus was always awash in G-men (or perhaps they were just G-men impersonators):
The CIA, FBI and National Security like to recruit from BYU because of its honor code and the lifestyle of most of its students, according to Kinjo. They said that if a person drinks, does drugs, has explicit sex or gambles, it can put them in a compromising position. Generally, BYU students don’t get involved with those things.
I can neither confirm nor deny!
So explicit sex is right out. What other kinds of sex is there? Can you have implicit sex? Because I can tell you right now that a lot of that was going on.

This is wonderful. I had a Latin American prof once that had lived in Chile for a long ttime and had done work with some of the orginizations trying to undermine Pimochet. We had a wonderful relationship until one day it came out that the reason I’d spent time in Chile was as a mormon mish. After that she was very hesitant to talk with me anymore. After several months of building back up trust with her she finaly told me it was because she had run into several cia operatives working as mormon missionaries (posing as Vs. really missionaries that were also working for the cia I do not know). She said that she knew people who went “missing” after having contact with these “mormon missionaries”. I’d love to know more if you have any references to direct me to.

If sex DOESN’T put you in a compromising position you’re doing it wrong. Heyooooo!
