Comments
I vote no on this bill because the Terrorist Screening Database is flawed and our own Government knows this. This equates me using flawed program to run my checking account, could be write, could be wrong. I don't want the risk of it being wrong. With the amount of tracking already in place through computers, one would think you already know what you need without going to a data base that has more holes in it that swiss cheese. How about listing 3 references of character on the application instead.
