I assume it’s to do with spy satellite crossover stuff, but could it also be a way of restricting the job to Americans? Or more specifically they might have someone in mind and want an easy way to exclude other candidates.

It’s a high profile position, so a competitive process would benefit the scientific community. This may be a result of a persistent culture of overclassification, which is a cancer on democracy.
