Steve Jobs' FBI Background Check Released

What could possibly prompt the FBI to run a background check on Steve Jobs?

Jobs ended up being appointed to the council, which advises on international trade, in 1991. The FBI has just made his background check available recently, and it’s interesting to get a further glimpse into the life of the late Mr. Jobs.
