Hope not to scare anyone, but what do you thing the chances of this happening are?
After reading your site, I decided not to apply for a job at the NSA, FBI--not that I have anything to worry about, but I would rather not risk having my "Failed" status on file. My concern is that the private sector will be given this privilege due to some bureaucratic slip.
I think the chances of the EPPA being repealed any time soon are virtually nil. If ever there was a time since its passage (in 1988) when it might have been repealed, it was during the early years of the Bush administration when Republicans -- who by and large were never the keenest supporters of the EPPA -- controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress, and when the attacks of 9/11 led to heightened security concerns. During this period, the American Polygraph Association floated the idea not of repealing the EPPA, but merely amending it by adding an exemption that would allow for the routine polygraph screening of airport employees, but this proposal gained no traction.
