OK, don't tell them. It's none of their business if you choose to not
disclose your hobbies.
It could be an office politics thing. Maybe they have two CCIE's on
staff with contracts, and if they add another, they know that you would
expect the same pay.
In fact I can think of many office politics, that could lead to such an
ad.
BTW, you wouldn't be the first person to dumb down a resume. I only
list my CCNA when I used to apply for MCSE work, etc.
I've personally found that many jobs turn into a real life version of
the weakest link, with the less capable people gaining up together
against the new guy who shows up at 7 am every morning in a shirt and
tie.
The solution to my problem was to start my own company.

Subject: OT: Anti-CCIE's ?
Sorry about the OT, but here's a question relevant to most of us:
Why do you suppose a company would post a job and specifically say
that they don't
want to hear from any CCIE's? I'm a little surprised and outraged by
this. Are there so
many CCIE's in Chicago looking for work (other than yours truly) that
they need to put
this stipulation in the description to keep a few hundred otherwise
unqualified CCIE's
from flooding their recruiters' mail boxes? Has the telecom deep-6 left
this field that
damaged? Has the credential now become a liability on my resume?

Any thoughts?
