The Associated Press is moving this story out of Los Angeles regarding a push by JPL workers to fight back against background checks. We've not seen nor heard of any similar push-back from folks at KSC, but if you have, please chime in.
Here's the AP story ...
"A federal judge on Wednesday refused a request by some workers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to block a Bush administration directive requiring background checks. A group of 28 JPL workers said the security checks invaded their privacy and sued in August to overturn the requirements. NASA maintained it was following a government-wide policy applying to millions of civil servants and contractors.
U.S. District Judge Otis Wright in Los Angeles wrote in a 17-page order that the plaintiffs’ claim of irreparable harm is without merit. Wright's decision comes two days after he told both sides that he had been inclined to issue a partial preliminary injunction that would bar NASA from asking JPL workers during background checks whether they had ever used drugs."

If you are worried about a background check find other employment.
