The FBI background check that we get is not even close to being a complete background check. In the realm of security clearances, it is just the first step.
Our CHLs are not good enough to skip a security screening. I know that this guy is obviously someone I don't want past the secured area of an airport. While CHL convictions rates are much lower than the general publics, they aren't zero, and there is no way of knowing which of us CHL holders is the rotten apple in the bunch. I'd much rather it get me in the first class line.
