Back in the "good old days" for defense jobs (the 80's),
the custom was to make someone an offer, have them fill
out the paperwork but not give notice at their current
position until the clearance was approved. Wouldn't do
people who aren't currently working much good, of course.

To further complicate things, when you are working in this particular position, you are often billed as "Overhead." Not a whole lot of companies are willing to do that for too long. That said, again, they are looking for people who have current, not necessarily active, clearances.
