It is a waste of time, waste of money, it is unnecessary, provides absolutely NOTHING, but a false sense of accomplishment.
And it is an invasion of privacy. A couple years ago, I almost walked out of a Regional Clinic because ASA's president-elect at the time basically accused anyone who had a problem with a BI as having something to hide. If it wouldn't have screwed over my fellow clinicians, I would have been gone.
I am tired of the cowardly fashion in which the people of this country act and I will not forfeit what freedom I have left simply to satisfy some Gestapo-style sense of "community".
BTW, I've had everyone up my tail, FBI, NIS(NCIS to the younger folks), DOD, DIS & state police and that doesn't include anyone involving my present job. So, to me, it is the mere stupidity of the people involved and the unnecessary invasion of my life by people who are no more qualified to determine my character than they are to turn water into wine with a wave of the hand.
And, just for the record, I had this exact discussion with Phil G. Like everything else with the ASA hierarchy, they don't handle any type of dissent very well.
