"Do you pack?" Having a concealed carry will help you get a job at some places because it means that you already went through some criminal screening.

See, personally, I would deliberately not hire somebody who carries a concealed weapon. There's a chance they may bring it to work, and that is a bad thing.

I'm licensed for private security in ontario. Seems like a legitimate question, in the right industry. Also, someone who went through the process of obtaining the legal right to carry is more likely to be an upstanding citizen than someone who hasn't, but does anyway.

Sounds more to me like they're cheap, and don't want to pay for you to get the clearance when they can get somebody else to pay for it instead. It costs money and time for them to have you do the paperwork and submit it.

I think this more sidesteps questions like "Do you have recent experience dealing with this kind of information, were you ever cleared to deal with this kind of information, why did you lose your clearance?"
If they have it already, you know they can receive it again, later. Employees are a long-term investment.

No one cares about quality. But just like the quality of roads, the electrical grid, water, customer service, hospitals, ambulances, fire fighting, police, banking, automotive repair, plumbers, construction contractors, food and wine, safety equipment, drugs, corrective lenses, shoes and erotic literature, people will notice when the quality isn't there.

And they will bitch. Probably even at the CEO.

If it was in Ontario, the laws are such that if she was interrogated by a police officer in that manner, it would constitute an arrest and she would be informed of her rights, foremost of which is the right to legal council.

Failure to do so would mean that the arrest was unlawful and that the officer would be penalized, probably heavily.

But, you are right, there was no crime in the first place, and If you or I was the deputy we would probably tell the school officials to sod off and save our number for real criminal activity or emergencies.

Windows may not be a filesystem, but it only ships with one sane choice of general-purpose filesystem, and that choice is NTFS.

In your opinion it's a sane FS.

... does not represent my opinion on anything. It simply is.. ..how things are.

Wait, what?

NTFS and windows are a pain in _my_ ass. That's an opinion.
