Your first mistake was attempting to put LOGIC and COMMON SENSE in the hiring process and especially in this industry. The company isn't going to waste the time and effort in doing background checks (not to mention the cost per individual) on an applicant that isn't guaranteed to show up for the orientation process. they base the "invitation" to join their ranks based on what you put on your application...little or nothing at all has been verified prior to the applicant showing up at orientation.
1. DMV check will get one or two from the person forgetting about the little (85 in a 35 zone) speeding ticket 7 years ago.
2. Any gap in employment, undocumented, will get the next group.
3. Blood pressure issues are next, and the newest is the BMI (Body Mass Index).
4. And finally the ones who get "creative" with unverifiable general information on the application.
