Unless you are an elected official. A janitor has to pass a drug, alchohol, credit, criminal, and lifestyle, background check these days.

Running for president............Not so much!

We are friends with the HR director at the local public hospital. He says that about one-third of the applicants for all positions (including nurses, technicians, etc.) either fail the drug test or have disqualifying criminal records.
