A security clearance makes it so you can't talk about what you just saw on TV--a Special Access Program Security Manager who I met in 2002.
A few times while I was at HQ ACC at Langley AFB, Va I'd see thing on TV that I knew were classified. I'd say to my wife, "I know about this, but I can't tell you, it's a secret!!" And I'd laugh! Not long ago this came up, all this time she thought I was kidding.
To my knowledge these elected swamp-dwellers don't actually have security clearances, they just have access.
