If you think a credit check is intrusive, try being fingerprinted and interviewed by a federal employee carrying a badge.

Right. I was a bank manager in my former life.
The employer required local, state, and federal criminal background checks, a credit check, fingerprinting and interviews with federal agents.
My daughter's military security clearance level required not only that HER background be checked, but those of immediate family members as well. We had to provide addresses, phone numbers, employer information and social security numbers.
Apparently we passed - she got her clearance.
