They're looking for aberrant things that will lead them to compromising information. You get some leeway for the sins of the past -- provided that you disclose. If you state that you don't abuse alcohol or use drugs, but individuals associated with you state otherwise, that will merit additional investigation. If you committed a crime and lied about it, what else did you do? Sell drugs? Grow weed in your apartment? Hang out with drug dealers? Anachronistic or not, using drugs is illegal. If you're hiding some dark secret, that can be used to coerce or otherwise compromise you, it's relevant. Do you want the US representative to some trade organization selling the country out, because he doesn't want someone to find out that did something stupid in his 20s? |

No, I'd much rather they do it for a fist-full of money.
