Dude, when the government does a full background check they don't only stick a magnifying glass up your ass, but everyone you know gets the treatment. I got friends that are still walking funny from the treatment, and that was years ago. Plus, you would be shocked at the information they have on you in government data stores! Anything that has taken place electronically, there is a record of and the government is doing a bang up job of pulling all of those stores togtether into one quasi-intelligent network. If you have something in your background that is questionable, they're going to find it. Oh, and credit history will be one of the first places they look. That information is pretty well available to anyone who is willing to pay the $30 to get it. I wouldn't be concerned about your background check by the sound of it. Unless they have you finger printed, have you do polygraph and agree to a DNA test, you're not getting the full treatment.
