Government reps are making it sound like no big deal - according to a recent report in the Washington Post, since 2007 six investigators working on behalf of the Office of Personnel Management, the agency that heads up background screening for federal jobs, have been charged with making false statements.

Three of the investigators were OPM employees. The three others were employed by government contractors: USIS and Kroll. One of these folks was convicted as recently as last week in Federal court in the District of Columbia. Dozens, if not hundreds of background checks have been admittedly falsified in these cases alone. Tip of the iceberg?
