I always have this question: when applying to jobs (software related for me), the applications always asked whether I have been a government employee. Why do they ask about this?
Does working for the government affect something?

Just a guess: if you've ever worked for the government, there's some record of it (maybe including performance, any issues they had with you etc). On the off chance the FBI doesn't know about those records already, they get a lead on getting those records.
