We have an argument here that some of you government hackers may be able
to settle:   Is a misdemenor conviction, no matter how trivial, a blackball
against ever working for the federal government or getting a security 
clearance to do military work ?   What about an arrest, but no conviction?

Or does it have to be a felony to be a total barrier?

(Just the facts, Ma'am)
