How difficult is it to pass a background check? I recently received a NEXUS card...which allows one to,among other things,pass easily and quickly over the US/Canadian border and also gives one special considerations during airport security checks,etc.

To get one one must pass a background check by both the US *and* Canadian governments.

I'd be willing to bet that 99.99% of Freepers would be able to get one if they applied.So why is it so difficult in Portland?

Because they ask and test for dope. If that was requirement for the nexus card, the potheads here in FR would fail so your percentage is way off. Lying and doing dope go hand in hand so that’s another disqualifyer.
