The problem is that they are subject to blackmailed/bribed/subversion ONLY because the employer will use the info as an excuse for firing/restricting the employee. If someone has a "skeleton in the closet" such as being gay, so long as the employer does not discrimate against gays who INFORM the employer of their sexual orientation or if the employer does not care about the person being gay (ie: removes it a potential blackmail threat) there is no problem so far as I can see. It is only when there is something that is WORK RELATED which would affect the person's performance if not known that the question of a background check is relevant.
Thats not compleately true. He may not care that his employer know that he is gay, but he would not anything for say his old mother and father not to know. You cant never be sure about what people *really* care about. Aleph One / aleph1@dfw.net http://underground.org/ KeyID 1024/948FD6B5 Fingerprint EE C9 E8 AA CB AF 09 61 8C 39 EA 47 A8 6A B8 01
