And given that SGC 1 was saving Earth/the Universe on a weekly basis, the USAF was inventing the manual for anti-Goa'uld operations* as they went along, and that a Major General was backing the team to the hilt and getting outstanding operational results by doing so, the Counterintel guys were probably told to sit down, shut up, and take notes.
While it's not germane to the basic Security Clearance rules, it seems like there is lots of room for extra info on why a sketchy character might get a Security Clearance, who is likely to have SC as part of Rank/Courtesy Rank/Status, and what happens if you screw up once you have SC.
(Obviously, for realistic military officers or civilian intel ops it's kiss your career goodbye and maybe spend a fair bit of your remaining life in prison. For historical or high status people, the rules might be different. And what do you do about superheroes who effectively are an intelligence secret and can't be cashiered or locked up, regardless of their behavior?)
