Security procedures don't apply to you once you no longer have a clearance. Except for, of course, revealing the protected information until it is declassified.

Yes, the security structure can seem a bit artificial at times, like: - During cleared professionals-only job fairs. - Leaving a cleared job and all of a sudden there are no reporting requirements or security procedures. It's as if the gov't refuses to acknowledge that sensitive info is still in your head.
