- carbocation 14y agoThen they will require that you give them two passwords. Or, to crib from jwz: now you have two problems.
- stephengoodwin 14y agoThe other issue is these requirements are not listed on job postings and rely on a potential hire to report that it happened.

- zzleeper 14y agoThen they don't need to ask you for it.
- freehunter 14y agoIf you're even being considered for a job at the CIA et al, you have a long history trailing behind you that they can dig through. Getting your Facebook information likely wouldn't give them any more relevant data than is already available to these agencies.
