I'm retired and haven't had such a clearance for about 5 years, so I can now again misbehave.

The NISPOM and refresher training both explicitly state that individuals are not to discuss or reveal their security status with anyone other than official personnel. It also details the human threat and how the first step is for adversaries to identify potential marks by looking at resumes and social media.
It also explains that you are still obligated to maintain a vigilant security posture after your clearance has expired, and that failure to follow the rules and regulations set forth can result in loss of clearance, loss of job, loss of employer's facility clearance, federal arrest, fines, prosecution, and imprisonment.
Sounds like you subscribe to the Hillary school of security.
