- Since you are obviously going to work for our corrupt government
- where "plausible denial" isn't everything, its the only thing,
- (Forgive me Vince ;-) ) I recommend that you answer this question
- for yourself using this time honored USGov standard of morality:
-
- (drum roll) ***Plausible DENIAL****
-
- Bottom line: can you get away with it? This will of course
- depend on a number of things:
- * can you pass a piss test (with LSD probably)
- * can you survive a background check (who saw you? will they
- tell the feds?)
- * can you survive a polygraph test? (maybe you don't need
- to for the level you are after---find out).
-
- Keep in mind: if you screw up, the Prez won't pardon you for your
- sins. That's only for the high level liars.
