Re: **IMPORTANT FIRST EMAIL BLAST**/Youth Protection and Adult Leadership Policy Impleme
My biggest concern here is the fact that all of this information is collected online. When I turn in a job application, it is filed and put away. Here, this information is online, and "secure." I don't buy it...if something happens and someone can get into the records, they have all of the info needed for all of us to do just about anything they want. I don't feel very safe with that. Also, teams have been meeting for awhile now and spending good quality time with each other. Most teams are like families...and if you can't trust the people in your family, who do you trust?

It will be a very sad day if something as stupid as this causes many people to beging disappearing from the world of FIRST.

My other issue is even if we are all okayed and continue on as nothing happened, and our identity is never stolen or anything like that, who's going to stop someone who was red flagged from going to a competition and abducting a student? Are there going to be guards posted at all of the entrances to all of the events with a ban list? I don't think so. Is everyone going to have to show an "Official FIRST Supporter" ID card? Nope. Is FIRST going to close its doors to the public? HA! These silly little insecure checks aren't going to deter anyone who really wants to get to a student.

Personally offended,
Kev
