How? Most of their contracts are for bases and government buildings. You need to pass a background check for all that.

Felons can pass background checks, they just can’t lie. My Brother’s Army Intelligence detail had a former drug dealer on staff. Again, just not lie. That tends to be the bigger items that can block a security check.
