Wouldn't that only hurt the honest people (if any) who work(ed) at NotW? The dishonest ones either:

- don't care because they don't use/need resumes
- fudge their resumes
- include their NotW employment because it's considered a good thing for the kind of work they do

Sorta like being a goon-for-hire, and having Blackwater on your resume :-/
