'via Blog this'put a human face on this problem at a hearing earlier this month. A 30-year military veteran who had been deployed in Iraq testified that he had been turned down for a job as an airport passenger screener with the Transportation Security Administration because of a mistake on his credit report. By the time he got the mistake resolved, he said, the job had been filled. “Even if I did owe the bogus debt,” he said, “I don’t see how it disqualifies me from screening passengers. A credit report does not prove what a person’s character is or is not.”
