The FBI is calling:

I got another call from the guy doing my background investigation today. I was really scared, since I had, you know, gotten an apartment and a ticket over and all that. Luckily, he wasn't calling to tell me I was not cleared. Instead, he had forgotten to tell me about the Privacy Act and how it applied to me. My file can be released to other government agencies looking into my background and will be kept on file by the State Dept. That's a little scary: for Christ's sake this is a three month internship!

But anyway, I still get to go to London in a week.
