That kind of information would not show up on the sexual predator list, you need to do a criminal history check.

I understand some folks are still unhappy that the world has come to this. I understand that the initial roll out was poorly executed. And I understand that there are a few out there who would like this to go away. I sincerely wish this was not something necessary for our youth programs, but it is. Please understand that all of the staff at EAA are working hard to serve our fellow members, and that we bleed blue too, even on a Friday night at the start of my vacation. We come on the forums to help you understand, not to get into fights. We try to stay away from the forums because it is for you to talk with each other. I will pm you to talk more about your questions offline as well.
I must remind you also that it is not so much that some folks are upset with the way the world is today, but rather the way this program is worded. I do wish you a very happy vacation, I'm sure you need it, and I can not wait to see what can be done about the insanely worded "Authorization" statement on the background page, we talked about. We well not forget.
