Personally identifying information
[QUOTE=SGHunter69;6991430]Is screening safe? I'm hesitant to give out so much personal info. I understand it's a two way street but I cannot afford having my information out there as many people know me and it's too huge a risk.[/QUOTE]No, it's not safe to give out your PII. If you care about your job, your wife (or SO), your kids, your civvie friends, then don't take that risk. Every agency will tell you they don't keep your info on file. That's a lie. They always keep it. They know, if they ever get busted, they can give the cops your info, and the info of all their other known clients, in order to reduce their own sentence. That exact scenario has happened many times in the past. The bust in Tyson's Corner, Virginia, is just the latest example.
There are many other ways to get through the door without giving up your PII. They just require a little bit more work. Some of them have been written about in this forum over time. Keep searching old posts. I've never given up my info and I never will. Too risky.
By the way, if you're not already, it's also a good idea to use a VPN to encrypt your internet activity and a burner phone to communicate with the bookers. As I always say: If the cops really want to find you, they will. But there's no reason to make it easy for them!
