I have no problem with BIs when necessary and appropriate. I had a TS clearance in the USN. When I checked out, they made the mistake of giving me my FBI/DIS/NIS reports about myself. Found out some things I couldn't have gotten myself.

I'm in the business of transporting high-value items from coin & cash to America's Cup and Van Halen to the Phillie Phanatic.

Those are valid reasons for BIs. Umpiring softball games is not.
