Some guidelines of a few simple policies put in place by the teams goes a long way to "that" protection. In my opinion, it is really being put in by FIRST to try and protect it's own butt! I am trying to figure out just who makes the call if a person is ineligible depending on the results of the background check?
Hey FIRST. Maybe after passing the check, a simple numbered tattoo on the arm of each participant proving they have passed, because that wouldn't cost very much............

Even if it is to cover FIRST's butt, it will still protect the students.
FIRST requires that everyone wear safety glasses to protect them, why not this?
I don't think this is FIRST acting as "Big Brother". They are keeping everything confidential and its not like what they have needs any kinda of security clearance... They are going to have nothing more than what presidential campaigns have- trust me I work on one. Its all public information
