I think it's a good idea, and it's calculated rather than off the cuff. It's unlikely her clearance will come back as unacceptable so I think it's s fairly safe bet. Of course, they can always terminate her at a whim just by saying not cleared so they get a chance to check her out in an on-the-job situation with little risk as she'll not be operating on anything of a confidential or sensitive nature until her clearance comes through.
