I never had the background check but I was "interviewed" by an FBI agent at my job once (70's) dameatball Sep 2018 #17
Not necessarily. PoindexterOglethorpe Sep 2018 #19

No, actually, I couldn't get any answers to any of those questions. MineralMan Sep 2018 #55
I see. Sorry I took your meaning literally. We get a lot of that here. But these deserve FBI answers ancianita Sep 2018 #56
Well, those answers are not going to be forthcoming. MineralMan Sep 2018 #57
That might once have been true, but now is a time when such questions need asking and answering. ancianita Sep 2018 #58
Because the powers that be don't care. Initech Sep 2018 #60
