When my brother was being checked for a security clearance they sent an FBI agent to the home in a residential area in Van Nuys, CA where we had been living for 5 years. I found her on my front porch when I got home from work, looking confused. I asked her what she was doing and she said "I am with the FBI doing a background check." I told her "Oh, we have lived here five years, but you won't be able to find a single neighbor who will be able to confirm that fact." She said "I am not supposed to talk to relatives." Then she paused. "But, what you said is correct. Could you please explain?" I told her that after five years, as single young men, we had lived in that little (1200 sq ft) house and had never spoken to a single neighbor and they had never spoken to us.
