[TheForge] Criminal Background Check

[Paul N]

One place where I was going to demonstrate a couple year ago wanted to 
do the whole background check (forest preserve affiliation). I'm sure to 
make sure I could be trusted with kids... But no fingerprint check.

I had to do that once a few years ago for the "day job" though, so I'm 
already "on file" somewhere in "black and white" ... just start singing 
"You can get anything you want..."

So I might not object, only cuz I'm already in some guv'm'nt database. 
Seems kinda extreme for a blacksmith though. You dealing with a lot of 
kids? Or maybe you'd be considered a government employee even though 
there's no pay, and it's "standard" ??? (just guessing)

I don't know what I'd do in your shoes. I think the partial match 
concern is valid. But these days, google probably has a big enough 
profile on a majority of the population, and I'm more concerned about them!
