Nope, sorry we changed our minds, we'll do it the same way we did it in the 60's.

I imagined things like this could happen but on such a small basis. The sad part is it would take a few dishonest people for this to even happen. I am shocked at (d) though. I cant remember but I am almost certain you go through a fbi check.
