I was convicted of 2 counts of aggervated burglary in 2007. I'm trying to work on a cruise line and in order to do so I'll need to obtain a homeland security pass. Will I be able to do so?

You are asking about a Homeland Security PASS Card (http://epic.org/privacy/surveillance/spotlight/0806/)? Legally, it's identical to a passport, so yes, I believe you can get one.

It is possible that particular foreign countries will want to know your criminal record. So be prepared for foreign officials to ask you.

I am reading that you can - there is no background check. It's much the same as a passport. EPIC Spotlight on Surveillance (http://epic.org/privacy/surveillance/spotlight/0806/)

Depending on the charges against you and the disposition if the cruise line does a background check you may not pass. I thought the cruise lines did do background checks.
