In my case, I'm doing contract work for a federal (Canadian) government department - nothing remotely sensitive, though there is a small amount of confidential information, as there probably is in any IT position. I didn't have nearly as much problem with the demand for my fingerprints as their insistence that federal law requires them to keep my fingerprints on file after they've served their purpose (which it doesn't). -- derek --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
