> If it's serious, like assault, you're out.

i've seen some examples that suggest it might not be as cut-and-dry as that. i don't have the url handy, but some time ago someone in one of this discussions linked to a publicly-accessible record of clearance decisions. the one that jumped out at me had a guy who'd been a drug addict and involved in dealing in the past--he was clean now and fully informed them about it during the screening, and was approved.
