    I was pretty annoyed, having went thru all the GE steps, finally found an appointment in a reasonably close city (LAX) back in Feb. I was told..."Sorry, you're not eligible, there is an arrest on your record". Which happened when I was a teenager, for Chrissake!! I had totally forgotten about it, was something stupid. I had basically bounced a check and never picked it up. Was charged, paid it and the fine, and that was it. (Never did it again either) But I digress.

    So, why not just send an email saying this had been found, and not make me go to the trouble of going to LA for the interview, etc. But NOOOOOOO, that would have been too simple!!

    So solly Charlie, no refund, you just subsidized your gummint today, thanks for shopping

    Gee, you actually forgot about the only time you've been charged with a crime? The feds don't easily forget. I wonder what would have happened if you had told them. Obviously, it wasn't a juvenile offense that sealed the record. Oh well, another lesson learned--no more bounced checks and don't lie [by omission] to the CBP.

    PS--Is there any appeal system?

    They said I could, but it would be denied. So I basically said why bother.

    Here's the thing...I've had a security clearance for the last 20 years, been SIDA badged the entire time. This has never been an issue, so I think that's why I never even thought about it.

    I've had something expunged from my record. Would that make me ineglible as well? As did Tony757- some stupid teenage stuff got me into some trouble, too.
    I am a flyin' fool again
