Same way T'Pel (aka Selok) became a respected Federation Ambassador.
How can future shows retcon the errors of Star Trek Picard?

Rewatch the show, Picard explictly says his quitting was a bluff he never expected Starfleet to call - except they did and he's left powerless.
I know that happened, I don't think JLP would've made that bet in the first place.
That was a "STUPID" thing to bet. JLP is smarter than that and knows what the consequences are should he fail.
And the UFP/StarFleet doesn't do mind scans to check for loyalty to the UFP or for any indications of "Double Agents"?
It's not like the UFP/StarFleet doesn't know about the genetic history / relationship between Vulcans & the Romulans along with Romulan Star Empires normal Modus Operandi.
Doesn't look that way, give that the Romulans and Klingons have managed to slip agents in the Diplomatic Corps and Starfleet.
Loyalty mind probes seem a little fascist, anyway. Probably against the law. Norah Satie is disappointed.
That sounds like something fascists would do.
Starfleet and the Federation work off of mutual trust. Satie's hunt was deemed unfathomable, even by the head of Security.
And yet the UFP / StarFleet let Double-Agents infiltrate their ranks.
Selok was posing as a Vulcan Ambassador
Commodore Oh was the head of StarFleet Security
A problem that could've been easily solved with psychic mind scans.
So....that's a yes for fascism?
Scanning a persons mind in relation to their important job is not "Fascism" or "Fascist".
I don't know why you're conflating a Ability/Technology with a form of government.
It's a Security Protocol/Tool to Vet for the validity & loyalty of the person to their job / nation.
When the technology and ability to see beyond words and into the thoughts of a person, you bet that it will be used. The ability to make sure that the person isn't lying to the public is a critical piece of technology and the ability to get to the truth of the matter as to how that person feels about any given topic.
I struggle to care about any of these things. I just want an entertaining story.
Sorry, my Fasco-meter goes off the scale when invading a person's mind is involved. Loyalty to State above all,
Then don't apply for important jobs that require Government Clearance and access to critical knowledge.Sorry, my Fasco-meter goes off the scale when invading a person's mind is involved. Loyalty to State above all,
Your average workers doing mundane things that have no relation to the government don't require Mind Scans IMO.
'Loyalty to the State' is required for ANY Government/Military job in ANY nation.
That's part of the deal when you work that type of job, be it Government or Military.
Mind scans are a step too far.
Just no. That is perverse.
Why?
How is perverse? Explain!
Nobody is physically being harmed. There is no physical interaction.
Nobody's mind is getting messed with or harmed.
Psychic Mind Scans are basically just more advanced forms of Lie Detectors with the ability to peer into the mind to see if they're lying or hiding info.
If you could know for "ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY" that __ person wasn't lying to you about ___ question.
Would you not do it?
If the safety of your planet, your government, your life & lively hood depended on trusting the actions of ___ person.
Would you not do it?
What if you wanted to know if ___ person loved you, and you wanted to erase any form of doubt.
That person authorized you for mind scanning them. Would you do it?
Our minds, our personal thoughts are the only things that are truly ours and shouldn’t be cracked open like an egg for all to see. Under any condition.
You might be too late.
Various real world Governments and Companies are working on that tech.
If Lt. Commander Data is considered "A Person" for the sake of Legal Person-hood.
What about all the times that Geordi inspected Data's Positronic Brain / mind / thoughts / memories?
If you have to ask...
That isn't an explanation.
