FBI, open up!


So I called the FBI. How many people can say that? We had to get background checks done for the MOE in Thailand to make sure we're not wanted individuals or creepers. So apparently there are two different background checks: the state of MN background check and a national FBI one. Since both of us attended college out of state, we needed the national FBI one. We got fingerprinted, they gave us the fingerprints and told us to contact the BCA (Bureau of Criminal Apprehension) to submit the prints and get the report. Well, it turns out that the BCA only does the MN check. The BCA then informed me that I needed to contact the FBI. That's not intimidating or anything... :) So $86 dollars later, we will get two reports that say that we have no record. (That's like 14 meals at Chipotle, friends (28 since we split a burrito), or 86 meals at food carts in Thailand...) Perspective.
