[Doug C]

It seems the FBI is rethinkinking there drug use hiring practices.New guidelines will accept applicants who haven't used drugs in 3 years and haven't used drugs on more than 13 separate occasions in the past.

Hi All-

What they really need to rethink is their health background screening process. I knew an accountant (son of a friend) who could benchpress 325lbs, run 400 meters in 53 seconds, and played two varsity sports in college who was rejected by the FBI due to having diabetes after he had already passed the written exams. They missed having a solid agent with that kid.

They should be more worried about their current personnel who smoke and drink too much.

There have been many scandals in the FBI in the past and they should be trying to run a better organization. Dropping standards never improved any group !!!

I remember seeing a television documentary about the FBI that showed an agent being passed for her swimming test - wearing a life jacket because she couldn't actually swim!

Hannibal Lecter: Plum Island Animal Disease Research Center. Sounds charming.
Clarice Starling: That's only part of the island. There's a very, very nice beach. Terns nest there. There's beautiful...
Hannibal Lecter: [cuts her off] Terns? If I help you, Clarice, it will be "turns" for us too. I tell you things, you tell me things. Not about this case, though. About yourself. Quid pro quo. Yes or no?
[pause]
Hannibal Lecter: Yes or no, Clarice? Poor little Catherine is waiting.
Clarice Starling: Go, doctor.

It would also be nice if they hired people with even a rudimentary grasp of the concepts eludicated in the US Constitution (the real one, not the revisionist "living, breathing document" crap) too.
