Yea, but that is the point. There are probably tens or hundreds of other applicants that are qualified as well. If a relative or family member of a prominent official is hired, it always makes it difficult to rule out favoritism, both in hiring, and in how the person is treated and promoted after hiring.This is ridiculous. Every company I've ever worked for has had married couples, parent/kids, and siblings. If they aren't working for or around each other, who cares? If one of them is a high up boss, they're family shouldn't be in that agency, but there is no reason why the Security of State's kid shouldn't be same to get a job for the IRS as long as they are qualified and got the job based on merit.
