This is not a credit check. You must specify to the person that you
are doing a credit check. The application says NOTHING about a credit
check. It's a simple application. You don't agree to a credit check
just because you fill out an application, you must specifically agree
to a credit check (I have always had to fill out a special form
agreeing to a credit check which lists the rights you have to the
information).

There is a company called Hireright that is a huge datbase for
informtaion on many individuals.
Once you are on the database your info is almost impossible to have
removed or altered. Welcome to the Brave New World of the USSA.

However, in this case it's free enterprise compiling the database, so
your reference to the USSA (parallel to USSR, I assume) is
somewhat off the mark.

Somewhat, but not quite. Fascism. The rule by private enterprises with
help by the state. Merger between private industry and the government.
That is what is happening now in America: new health insurance laws,
TARP, outsourcing govt work to private industries, two wars.
But nobody cares.

Does it really matter?
Do you think the FBI, the CIA and the NSA dont have databases on US
citisens as well?
Those are all government agencies like the KGB was to the USSR.
