Yeah, the military has to hold regular “you’re not as attractive as you think you are. Know your fucking number” meetings with the higher-ups. Basically, they have to be blunt, and straight up tell the people with clearance “you’re a grey and wrinkly old man who smells like wet beef. At the bar after work, you’re a 3. Maybe a 3.5 if you bothered to shower before getting to the bar. If a solid California 10 strikes up a conversation with you at the bar and seems really interested in your work, it’s because she’s a spy.”
They have to hold these meetings because honeypotting is so fucking effective on the sad sacks who have clearance.

Man that would be terrible. I sure hope no one attractive comes to me to try and pry my many many government secrets out of me with affection and attention. I have so many government secrets and am very easily persuaded with flirtation and intimacy. Soooo many government secrets

You say this sarcastically, but there have been podcasts that talk about how I credibly effective this tactic is.
