I didn't think of that! I was just thinking of places like Honeywell formerly bendix. They did/do such a thorough background on employees.. even speaking to former neighbors if necessary. It just seems(ed) odd to me for this to happen.

Hard to tell, but it appears this co. came on the scene just a few years ago. That might also have something to do with it.

Before 9/11 there was no concern about the Saudis. So any background check would not have included concern about Saudis.
