FBI may relax hiring policy on drug use
An AP newswire article, via USA Today, reports that:
The FBI, famous for its straight-laced crime-fighting image, is considering whether to relax its hiring rules over applicants marijuana or other illegal drug use earlier in life.
Some senior FBI managers have been deeply frustrated that they could not hire applicants who acknowledged occasional marijuana use in college, but in some cases already perform top-secret work at other government agencies, such as the CIA or State Department.
FBI Director Robert Mueller will make the final decision. "We can't say when or if this is going to happen, but we are exploring the possibility," spokesman Stephen Kodak said
The change would ease limits about how often — and how many years ago — applicants for jobs such as intelligence analysts, linguists, computer specialists, accountants and others had used illegal drugs.
