[TheForge] Criminal Background Check

A couple things.

First, a little online searching and a few bucks and 
anybody can learn way more about you than you want 
anyone to know. The State or Feds can check you back 
beyond birth if they so choose and as for your 
fingerprints all they need to do is tail you and print 
something you've touched. No warrant necessary. IF 
you're that interesting to them they already have more 
than you know yourself.

Secondly, with computer comparisons checking many many 
more points of similarity than eyeball comparisons 
there's a fleetingly small chance of mistakes matching 
you to a partial.

I had to submit to printing to get the HazMat 
endorsement on my CDL so it isn't an issue here.

If it really bothers you withdraw your offer to 
volunteer.
