That's true, but you'd have to have an insanely poor driving record that's relatively young. Even then, you'd probably just get someone from the DoD or FBI or whatever to come in and ask you about it. It's typically a judgement call.

Things like recent drug use, poor credit, dual citizenship, etc. tend to be grounds for immediate denial.
