And, although Aryan Nation is distasteful to you and me, if he doesn’t cause problems at work, his interest and membership should not disqualify him from working for the government. Don’t happily accept punishment of people for their political proclivities just because they’re on the right, because you’re next.</p> While private companies can do what they want, this is absurd for the government to have these requirements.

Questions;
“What are ‘They’ going to do with the passwords etc when ‘they’ decide that you are ‘pure’ enough to hire or not?”
“How are ‘They’ going to make sure that the passwords are secure from other employees/friends/ex-friends/paying customers etc?”
“Have the people who believe ‘This’ should be part of the hiring/screening(being nosy) process, updated their own employee records so that their passwords etc can also be screened?

This is wrong in so many ways.

How come that ‘job/company’ we work for eightish hours a day (most because we have to so that we can then take care of our families and enjoy life whilst we get older.) become so invasively involved in the personal/private part of an individuals life/home?
just wondering out loud..
