Truthfully, you just don't know people. I agreed to serve as a reference for a student of mine applying to the border patrol because he wanted to use it as a stepping stone into the FBI. He had to go through a federal background check, so when the federal officer came to ask me about him, I said he seemed like a nice, "even keeled" young man. I must have repeated "even-keeled" two or three times. The government ended up delaying his clearance. A few months later, the guy took his girlfriend hostage, killed both her parents, before eventually killing yourself.
Moral: you don't ever know people, and don't use me as a reference for the federal government. I've got zero credibility.
