You are soft-pedaling this. There is much, much more on the SF-86 (http://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/sf86.pdf) They have extensive sections on psychological health (e.g., have you seen anyone for a mental health issue in the last 7 years, if so who, and their contact information). There are extensive sections on criminal history and past employment, including reason for leaving, especially if it was Federal employment. There are also sections on past friends, past addresses, and spouses and ex-spouses, and foreign contacts. Furthermore, it's not just convictions, you also have to report being charged with any felony offense, even if not convicted. Also, drug and alcohol related history, and gambling. And repossessions, liens, etc. The SF-85 is a less intrusive version of the SF-86. I think a typical contractor working on open projects would use a SF-85. But note, when you sign the SF-85, you allow the government to collect additional information from various sources (but not medical information). This compiled information would presumably be stored on the systems that were targeted in this hack. I know people who resigned from their job rather than fill out the SF-85. Part of their reason was that something like this might happen. |
