NASA Employees Fight Invasive Background Check

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the watching-the-watchmen dept.

Electron Barrage writes "Longtime JPL scientists, many of whom do not work on classified materials, including rover drivers and Apollo veterans, sued NASA, Caltech, and the Department of Commerce today to fight highly invasive background checks, which include financial information, any and all retail business transactions, and even sexual orientation."

    Your argument is equally horseshit. It is like saying that women should be on the front line, equally, with men. No, they shouldn't. I will tell you that a woman POW will get raped dozens of times a day, a situation for most far worse than death. You will tell me that the enemy can equally rape a man just as much. SURE they CAN.... but it doesn't work that way in real life.

    If you look dirty or smell dirty, or taste dirty, regardless whether you think you are or not, you are dirty. This is how a faceless corporation will see it. This is how the stock holders will see it. This is how the voters will see it. No one said life was fair.

    He licked my bag last night pre-flight
    Queero hour for a trans
    And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then
    I urinate so much I'll need depends
    My ass is dressed in lace
    On such a shameless flight

    And I think we're gonna screw for a long time
    Till touch down brings me round again to find
    I'm not the girl they think I am at home
    Oh no no no I'm a rocket girl
    Rocket girl burning out her fuse up here alone

    Mars ain't the kind of place to fondle kids
    My dick is cold as hell
    And there's nothing like Uranus if you did
    And all these morals I don't understand
    Just a blow job for a freak
    A rocket girl, a rocket girl

    And I think we're gonna screw for a long time...
