[solabeirtan]

FBI Director James B. Comey said Monday that if the FBI hopes to continue to keep pace with cyber criminals, the organization may have to loosen up its no-tolerance policy for hiring those who like to smoke marijuana.

 

Mr. Comey also boasted of the agency’s efforts in combating white collar crime. He said that the FBI had 1,300 agents currently working 10,700 white collar crime cases nationwide. The number of corporate fraud cases at the FBI had jumped 65 percent since 2008, he said.

I've smoked more than most in the last three years, maybe I'm a shoe in for the job!

This is really ironically funny. If they relax requirements for one class of employees, they will have to relax requirements for all. If they don't relax then they won't be able to get the type of people they need.

The government has woven a tangled web around marijuana and now they are getting caught up in it.
