No. My company has state and federal government contracts which require background checks on all employees. Whether I find you personally trustworthy is irrelevant, the contracts in place for government network infrastructure worth many millions of dollars of annual revenue could be voided by hiring you and concealing your felony from the contracting agencies. Hiring you could result in a dozen people losing their jobs, some of whom are the sole providers for their families.

I do not have the political influence or lobbying ability to change these agencies' service/contracting procurement policies. The work will simply go elsewhere if I have a felon with 'enable' on the routers.
