I should suggest my employers put this on their paperwork. It'll weed out all the fucks who think security isn't important (everyone that isn't a retard will just skip them)

Talk about moronic. Maybe they should just demand the keys to my house while they're at it.

...City attorney Greg Sullivan says Bozeman takes privacy seriously. But he defends the burg's log-in grab. "So, we have positions ranging from fire and police, which require people of high integrity for those positions, all the way down to the lifeguards and the folks that work in city hall here. So we do those types of investigations to make sure the people that we hire have the highest moral character and are a good fit for the City," he said.

Oh, as long as it's for moral character!

The real question is: do you really want people who have "friended" the Jonas Brothers to work for your city?

I have a better solution: Don't apply for a job in Bozeman, Montana. As a matter of fact, just avoid the entire state altogether.

Well thankfully I live nowhere near this town. If any employer EVER asked for this information I would just walk out. Business and private life should be seperate in my opinion.
