    Can a felon obtain a homeland security card
    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? 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

    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.
