I am considering taking on a smallish project in Missouri which may requir
e me to obtain a MO PE license. I am licensed out of state (NY + CA), so it would be by comity. Does anyone have experience with Missouri? Are they as difficult to deal with as Texas with their criminal background checks and ethics exam?

I'm in both (TX and MO) - MO wasn't a big deal for me at the time (Jan. 2001)

Thanks guys, good to know MO are not too precious in MO about this. I have been scarred by my Texas experience and have been gun shy ever since. The experience of heading down to the central police station to stand in line with a bunch of criminals to get fingerprinted so I could have my FBI background check completed was too much.
 
I was irritated ALL of the information needed to completely strip my identity (SSN, birthdate, fingerprints, signature, address, birth city and state - plus the bank info on the check I needed to pay them!) was in a single envelope going to a lowest-bid Illinois contractor who was then going to (???) enter them on-line to some unknown "trusted government" database to see if I had committed any crimes.

Who then sent the whole package back to TX to another unknown bureaucratic group to accept the background check.

Yeah. No chance for corruption or ID theft there. /sarchasm

The converse, of course, is that if you are one of those unlucky persons with a name that's identical to a serial murderer or some other criminal mastermind, you have to carry around a letter that supposedly "proves" that you are not that person.

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

sarchasm - That gaping whole between the government (or a liberal) and reality. 8<)
 
I think there's a pretty large gaping whole between conservatives and reality, as well ;-)
