OP
jroy017:Yeah if the RCMP (=FBI in canada ) wants some lists i'm sure there might be a few skeptics but most of us would comply my hesitation is giving the lists to FQAS wich is run by diving instructors from quebec. In other words i'm giving my competitor my client database even though he should only be using it within FQAS circumstances but we all know how rarely client databases stay really private.
We weren't to happy about having to give up any kind of a list to any one but it wasn't like we had a choice.
I discussed it with my attourney before we did it because I was not only worried about the FBI but the response of customers also.
Another concern was the time that it took. Since they wanted a list of divers who had not completed training and our records were hard copy only we had to do a manual file-by-file search of our records. It wasn't the kind of thing you could get done very fast.
