supercheck
n.— «The Delaware State Police have been conducting secret background checks of some gun owners since 2001, a process known as “superchecks” that may violate federal law. The checks have resulted in confiscation of weapons, some for legitimate reasons, but have subjected many citizens to a search of mental health records that in most cases police would be unable to access.» —“Gun checks may violate federal law” by Lee Williams News Journal (Wilmington, Delaware) Nov. 30, 2008.
