And the article is wrong in another point - it isn't that they all get low security clearence, but that they are sent to an army psycologist (which many people are before going into IDF, it's quite standard) who will then decide whether or not this person is mentaly unsuitable. Aparently less than 50% of those referred had any change in the security clearence, and most of them in was a very small difference. I go to a school full or LARPers, and many of them went into or are in the midst of going into high-security-clearence jobs.
In fact, it isn't just about cloven hooves, they must have cloven hooves and be ruminants. Fish must have scales and fins (therefore catfish and sharks are out) and birds have a specific list... Insects are specific too, but very few people know exactly whet the names refer to, plus most people don't want to eat them anyway...
