In the United States (US) military there is a stereotypical inspection of cleanliness where the inspecting officer puts on a white cloth glove and, using their finger, rubs a surface and then lifts the fingertip to see what dirt has been picked up. The more I read about how candidates are being vetted by companies investigating them on the internet – through social media and web searches – the more this image comes to mind.
