Idaho doesn't require background checks for security guards | KTVB.COM | Boise, Idaho News, Weather, Sports & Traffic | IDAHO NEWS: "In Idaho, the state leaves it to cities and towns to decide whether to ensure security guards aren't on terrorism watch lists or haven't been convicted of crimes.

Idaho is one of about 10 states that doesn't regulate the private security industry, which in recent years has found itself increasingly called upon to guard against terrorist attacks.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, Idaho State Police has not submitted a single applicant for a security guard position to the FBI for background or fingerprint checks, according to Dawn Peck, manager of the Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification."
