http://www.fbi.gov/clearance/securityclearance.htm They pretty much toss your app while going through this process…. Applicants must meet certain criteria, relating to their honesty, character, integrity, reliability, judgement, mental health, and association with undesirable persons or foreign nationals. [/ QUOTE ] Assuming facts not brought into evidence. Not ONE mention of gambling nor poker in that link you listed, and I listed the ACTUAL FEDERAL STATUTE that defines the exceptions. Get lost troll. AB

Re: Parents say Quit Poker...FBI
You're not getting it. It's not that its illegal. It's gambling. Specifically tightened up after 911 as a security risk. You will not get a top secret clearance as a know gambler. If you lie and they find out.....

Yawn. I listed the federal statute. Read it in my post above. AB [/ QUOTE ] I know two regular weekend players at the Borgata who play live solely because they state any significant amount of online play would prevent them from getting national security clearance. It is not illegal so it is a judgement call, a single deposit and playing for a month is probably not a enough to disqualify you but significant gambling of any kind or any attempt to make money at gambling over a long period of time is considered to be a character defect. Basically a part time poker player is lumped in with those degenerates investing in schemes to beat roulette, that's our government.

Re: Parents say Quit Poker...FBI
The govenment can do whatever it pleases. i had a friend kicked off of the police force (like regular town police)because he was suspended in high school for having caffiene pills on his person (not illegal).

[/ QUOTE ] lol, I should have said: A friend of mine was kicked off the police force because ..... if they can kick off him for this they can deny someone an FBI job for having a gambling habit.

Re: Parents say Quit Poker...FBI

I had a talk with my parents today...they told me though that the FBI looks down on any form of "gambling" which obviously many would say poker goes along with. I have thought of this but haven't placed too much into it. [/ QUOTE ] I am sorry to say this but there is nothing else to be done. Kill your parents. Lie to the FBI. Happy Xmas Eve.
