you are going to have a very hard time finding a legitimate source of any FBI hit list. \nyour best bet is to research newspaper accounts of run-ins they had with the police, what tools they used to stop rallies, etc.\nalso, if you're willing to, you can check with local nursing homes to find some old activists and interview them.\nif you ask me, I think your topic is too broad; narrow it to a certain agency.

If you are using Windows XP you have several options.\nOption 1: Right click on the file to password (or an entire folder if you want), click properties, click the General tab, click Advanced button, click Encrypt Contents check box.\n\nOption 2: Use compression program like WinZip, and choose Encrypt or Password Protect options.\n\nThese will encrypt your information so that only a programming genius will be able to see your data 99.99% of people will not be able to get to it.\n\n* NOTE *\nIf you are engaging in illegal activity, these will not be good enough. Neither will deleting the files. The police can easily crack those. In that case you will need to delete everything, throw your hard disk away and never access those files again.

The FBI will do an investigation on various aspects of your life from the forms you fill out. They will check finance, friends, family, drug use, recreational activity, political affiliations,etc... They will conduct interviews of family, friends, and acquaintances. They'll check you addresses, criminal record, etc..\n\nThey are looking for anything that may indicate a possible compromise of the info you will encounter/create that could lead a breach of "national security.\n\nThe investigation could take as little as 6 months or as much as 2-3 years(or more) depending on the info you furnish, the access you'll be granted, and the amount in your past. \n\nUntil the investigation is complete you will probably receive an interim clearance that will allow your schooling and "work" with limited access to sensitive compartmented information.

the best thing is to scan the file attachment... don't open it if you don't know who is it from... update your anti virus software and prevent going to any website that may leave back doors for hackers...

who is doing the background check? If they are using your fingerprints to check the FBI data base which should contain all state law enforcement data (although not updated as fast as it should someitmes), then you better believe it that they will find it!

If you live near the area where the report might be, the clerk of criminal courts has the information and it is public.  Go, most are on computer, plug in the name, up pops case #'s etc.  You request the file read it and return it.

These other answerers obviously did not read your question. They just spout out Family Watchdog...\n\nNow you want the details and not just some vague charge. \n\nUnfortunately, you will have to try to find archived newspaper articles on it somehow. \n\nCriminal files are public record at the courthouse but since these cases involve minors, their privacy is protected and the public cannot see the file. \n\nWhy don't you just ask the person or someone that knows him or knew him back when the incident occurred?
