Just a followup. If you remember brobrob (or whatever his nick was), he was complaining about people refusing to hire him "because of 9/11." And he was a resident alien. When you are talking about a job driving a truck, as he was, that is plain wrong. On the other hand, if we were talking about an db analyst job where he would have access to military deployment plans, and thus require a security clearance, the concern becomes legitimate.
