In reply to the discussion: My FBI/Ex-wife story [View all]Corgigal
(9,291 posts)2. All good agencies do that type of background.
I worked for a giant agency in Florida, they knocked on all my neighbors doors. I also applied for the Dept Of a Justice, they contacted everyone. Even people you had no clue they would. They run your credit, talk to everyone.
Hell, when my daughter entered the Coast Guard, they contacted her high school, present employer and more people then we could imagine. I personally have no problem with that, I had a secret clearance and my daughter got, with out asking, a top secret clearance.
It's the way, we're suppose to work. Our backgrounds matter. Future behavior, in reference to past behavior.
Thanks for sharing your story.

I think it's proper to use the words Trump himself uses...and he has NEVER SAID "people of color"!

I referenced NAACP as a counter-example, sardonically. Of course they are relevant.
