Always been the case that if the interviewing officers consider the stuff unearthed (or volunteered) during a DV interview was of such a serious nature as to doubt your character they could refer it back to the MOD. The first course of action is usually not to be given DV clearance - this tends to set alarm bells ringing anyway! I know a couple of 'characters' (neither of them me!) who failed their DV for very different reasons which led to them to flying a different aircraft type! I also have seen individuals in flying training keen not to be role disposed to a certain aircraft type because of the need to be DV'd!
As for this number (500?) whose confidential information from their DVs has been lost may be making for some uncomfortable home lives. But to adopt the 'holier than thou' approach so often seen on this board - if you play with fire expect to get your fingers burnt!
