for people who are listed in there... i think the thing we should be concentrating on is trying to remove ourselves out of this list. while it is possible, they are asking for an extreme amount of information including:

social security number (hells no i'm not giving that out)
first name
middle name
last name
aliases AKA names
current residence
previous residence for past 15 years
date of birth

is it just me or is something wrong here?!

Wow. They got me, all my relatives, and most of my friends in this database. So much for keeping your age secret nowadays.

I am on it but it has the wrong age. It also has my mom and dad and my dad doesn't use computers.

honestly tho, i am not worried about the age bit... i'm more worried about the fact that someone can look up other records such as criminal, what properties you possess, etc, etc.

and with that i leave you with this quote... "just because you're not paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you."

I only found people who vote. So if you don't want to be in there don't vote. I don't care if someone knows my age as long as I look Good and am in good physical condition. I have NEVER lied about my age anyway.:D

Her age said 20. :|

Hey, it's legal to bang her, so what's the problem? Besides the fact that you're stalking her, off course, but hey, I'm sure she'll understand. :p

Ya know, it's funny you should say that. She didn't tell me her last name, but she said her major, and had a unique first name. So I did a search, and only 2 people came up with that name ... one was her major ... *shrug* ... I like to know more than average ... sue me!!!

All they have on me and my family members is obsolete data from 3-4 years ago. That was when I stopped divulging my personal info after moving to AK. I started to dislike the idea of having a paper trail of my life. I don't even have a drivers license anymore. My wife got her AK license but that doesn't seem to have mattered for this background search.


I love not existing anymore!

I'm in there twice. Once with an old address, once with my parent's address. I'm guessing it's based on driver's license or voter registration.
