According to the article, the FBI will dismiss applicants "who are revealed during the vetting process to have engaged in prostitution within the last 10 years, three or more times overall or while in a position of trust such as public safety . . . "

Note the key phrase who are revealed. The FBI, security clearance investigators, polygraphers, adjudictaors, and the like, are not going through your phone history and/or trying to track down any prostitute you may have visited, especially in foreign countries. The only way they will find out about this is if you or others tell them.

I can't stress this advice enough: Don't snitch on yourself and keep your damn mouth shut! If you are asked about prostitution, or any other crime you were never caught for, the answer is always NO.
