An item at Hobjobs.com claims that employers are sending job applicants' fingerprints to the FBI to check their backgrounds before hiring.

I once had a conversation with a co-worker who had just been approved for a top secret security clearance with "access". Top Secret is the highest fucking security clearances there is and "with access" goes BEYOND merely top secret.

A top secret clearance is only obtained after some idiot government workers (at all levels of the government) go to every where you worked and lived and ask assholes what kind of person you were. can you really have every fucking idiot you happened to live next door to running off at the fucking mouth.

Well, the government went through this whole big deal investigation of my co-worker (costing thousands of fucking dollars) and they DID NOT find out that the guy was born in Vietnam. My co-worker told me that it wasn't until he went to the "VAULT" to finalize his TS paperwork that it was noticed that he was Asian and that he informed the "Vault" people that he was born in Vietnam.
