As for endangerment, the same question pertains. What exactly is this designed to prevent?
Look, I'd be ok with the privacy issues and the expense involved if it could be shown that it would prevent some crimes; but I have yet to see a single instance where a crime was committed by an official, as an official, that would have been prevented by a background check and subsequent screening.

It makes everyone feel better like many policies implemented. It does not do much of anything else in my opinion.
