As as you see the guy in the suit sitting in the nondescript family car with government plates in front of your home you start to go, "hmmmm". When he gets out as you pull up, you really go "hmmmm". The word "uh oh" also comes to mind.

At first I thought maybe it was a census worker or something.

"Hi, Im agent so-and-so. We are conducting a background investigation of your neighbor Mr. so-and-so, who is seeking security clearance. He has listed you as a reference. Could you help us verify some information?"
*shows identification*

"Sure, come on in."

"Thank you."

For a second I think "its a trap!" as I chuckle on the inside and almost start to laugh out loud because I rarely talk to the neighbor.

Thankfully it was as he described, pretty much a bland conversation. A friendly young man who asked a series of probing questions. But for awhile it makes you think about everything you say and do online. This visit was back in July, so I guess it wasnt a trap afterall. :sneaky:

But you never know who is waiting for you when you get home. :twisted:

These are smart guys. I would say that there is just as much of a chance that they actually tricked you to easily let them into your house.

Posting in a zj thread... wait, what?

Oh great, now the MI6/SIS is here.

I'm guessing he will seduce the OP in order to extract information to stop Dr. Pizza, the evil scientist who is working on some weapon of mass goat destruction.

You should have said "Well, he's a ladies man, because he has hot young girls coming into his house all the time. Also, I think he's an artist or something, because he drags huge rolls of drop cloth soaked in red paint into his garage shortly after the girls show up..."

Growing up, we had two different neighbors go to nuke school for carriers/subs. The FBI comes a-knocking for those without listing references. :)

If they dont get you for possesion they go for obstruction or destroying evidence. Either way, you're going down if they even show up. Unless you have $20,000 handy for a very good lawyer. But not even money halped Martha Stewart. :eek:

i just went through getting a clearance and they didn't go interview my friends in person. the mailed them forms instead which they had like 9 questions they had to answer.

it was only for top secret so maybe that is why it wasnt in person. i also think that it may have been because one of the friends i listed was like 1500 miles from here heh.

Dr. Pizza has a lot of work to do. You go "BOO" and his goats fall down.
