Other searches:
offender registry,
credential verification,
skills assessment,
reference checks,
credit reports and
Patriot Act searches are becoming increasingly common

Patriot Act searches are NSA and 3-letter agency reviews of all data they've got, and they've got every bit an byte of metadata they decide to target.

These vettings should now apply for everyone going anywhere near Biden, Harris and Pelosi.

Everyone. Those at the ceremony, WH, and in The U.S. House, too.

* Yes, the much maligned polygraph is used by AI as a correlate of red flags across vet categories.
