    I used to work for the government at a weapons laboratory in New Mexico. The security clearances were typically more about finding things that applicants lied about more than anything else. Filing BK, especially CH 13, wasn't seen as bad unless you were trying to hide it and failed to disclose the true nature of your finances. Same went for almost everything else, it was ok to be gay, but not in the closet about it. Even past drug use, etc, didn't disqualify you, it was almost always the cover-up that caused someone to fail to get clearance, not the actual act. I guess they figured if you would lie about something, it was something you could be blackmailed about, or would continue to act shady about.

      Thank you! That helps too I am moving to an area that has a lot of gov contracts. I thought maybe a whole market was out of my grasp.

      I have an inactive secret. Do you think that will help?

        It sure couldn't hurt! They will consider some of the expensive background checks done, since they'll only have to check up on what has gone on since the secret went inactive. So the background check might go a lot more quickly for you because of the inactive secret clearance. I know it could take 6 months-2 years sometimes!

            Right now, many background records search over the internet will report current phone number, address, address history for 30 years, age, birth dates, household members, relatives, associates, property ownership, lawsuits, marriage, divorce, criminal records check, s3x offenders, terrorist watch, bankruptcy, tax liens, and more. The government is going a lot further, and someday the info will get out like it aways does. With everywhere biometric sensing cameras, they will be reporting your daily movements and habits. When you get to work, what route you take, where you have lunch, bathroom breaks, everything. And remember, the employer can request that the FBI collect your information and make reports to your employer. Finally, the system will follow you everywhere in the USA and internationally in other countries.
