FBI REJECTS SHELL KNOB AGENT

"The FBI has rejected your finger prints" the caller told me!

WHAT???

SHELL KNOB

Not exactly what I expected to hear first thing Monday morning.

"What do you mean - rejected?" I asked. " Why were my prints rejected?" There wasn't much explanation given. Many agents in our Board were finger printed after a recent meeting. This is new in Missouri, agents are now required to have fingerprints registerd and on file with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, prior to our license renewal.

I cannot recall a single time that a real estate agent robbed a bank or attacked a client. This goes against my concerns for privacy, but I still like being a real estate person so I went and had them redone last week.

Guess I won’t rob a bank or a client this week.

Having had myself fingure printed before, I would guess they did not roll them right or maybe lost them.

More opinions than you want to hear about.

When was the last time a government procedure change was an improvement? They probably want a database with everybody's fingerprints. Since anybody can get a real estate license, they probably think that eventually, everybody will. They will then have everybody's fingerprints.

Heh, we have to be finger printed in Oklahoma also.

I always thought it was funny how they asked if you had a felony . Lets see, I am a criminal and I will tell the truth on my application...not.

Thanks for all the thoughtful suggestions. I presume that the old "no news is good news" theory will apply here. If I don't hear from them - perhaps I now have a record?
