it looks a lot more involved than any background check I’ve done for industry. depending on clearance level your friends and family will be interviewed by FBI agents, and they’ll ask your friends for more friends to interview, etc. I think it goes back 10 years. they will also require you to do a polygraph, for higher clearance.

also lying on the form lands you in prison, which is definitely more intense than lying on an industry background check. oh, and you have to report any foreign contact, too, as long as your clearance is active.

and they’re really strict about drugs, debt, cheating (or being cheated on!), mental illness, having parents or spouses from other countries…
