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
Honestly, I agree with Mr. Bill. I don't believe FIRST should stick their nose into something like this. If a team suspects that a volunteer is questionable or if they feel that background checks are necessary, they should take care of the situation themselves and keep it on the "local level" so to speak. Anyway, many teams already have some kind of screening process/waiver that the volunteers have to fill out or follow anyway. Its just another expense and FIRST would be wasting their time when they could be working on other problems that need addressing. Oh and Mr. Bill, maybe the back of the neck would be better
