HIRED ANY TERRORISTS lately? An extreme question, maybe, but in the wake of Sept. 11, backgrounds of employees and potential employees are facing increased scrutiny.

At the same time, firms that provide services ranging from background checks to screening to determine if job applicants' names appear on an FBI watch list of known terrorists are reporting brisk business.
Joel Gray, director of human resources policies, plans, and services for Engelhard Corp., Iselin, N.J., says the events of Sept. 11 "clearly reinforced" the need to do background checks on employees.
