Supreme Court Overturns HSPD-12 Decision by Lower Court
Court says NASA background checks can continue, Federal News Radio
“The Supreme Court says background checks of low-risk employees at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California can continue. The high court on Wednesday overturned a lower court decision that had stopped the space agency’s investigations of the contract workers. The workers claimed NASA was invading their privacy by requiring the investigations, which included probes into medical records and questioning of friends about everything from their finances to their sex lives.”
