No disrespect coachrowsey. But, let's see...

Aldrich Ames:
CIA spy who betrayed his country in a very major way.

The Cambridge Spies:
Philby, Burgess and McLean and Anthony Blunt put real British class into espionage.

Klaus Fuchs:
A member of the famed Manhattan Project who developed the atomic bomb, but he turned traitor and gave the plans to the Russians.

Robert Hanssen:Respected FBI agent, family man and staunch Catholic conservative leads a double life spying for the Russians, hanging around strip clubs and surfing Internet porn sites.

Do you think any of these fine gentlemen had background checks?
