What types of regulations restrict employees from having a personal life?
I would say the foremost regulation that restricts employees from having a personal life is the need to report all of your contacts - not only with foreigners, but sometimes with other Americans - to the Central Intelligence Agency. For example, before you get married, even if you're going to marry an American citizen, the agency will provide you a fifteen page document to fill out information about this person, even if it's an American citizen. When I became engaged, I was given a document to fill out on my husband with information about his family that seemed to go back to the Civil War. And they're all American citizens. And it was, to me personally, at this point where I realized that the CIA was exerting a little bit too much control over my personal life. And at the same time, that's part of being an employee of the CIA. It's something that if you want to stay there for a career, you have to accept - that's what you sign up for.
