[nagdu] Devil's advocate on ownership

[Angie Matney]

Too true. The amount of info we have to disclose on the Bar application is
unbelievable. (Especially when you've moved around a lot for work and
school.) But dishonest people still make it through.

Would I do the same to own a guide dog? Maybe. But I'm gglad I don't have
to, simply because the process of applying is kind of painful.

Yes, I would. I've had background checks done for other things I wanted to 
participate in in my life.   As long as the program was up front about 
checking, I would be fine with providing the information.

However, just because someone doesn't have a criminal record doesn't mean 
they are of impeccable character. I do not believe there is any way to 
ensure 100% success no matter what methods a particular school would choose 
to employ.
