The
FBI has a problem. The agency needs to hire hackers to build out its
cyber crime division, but it also will not hire anyone who's smoked weed
in the past three years. And guess what? A lot of hackers like to smoke
weed.
It's a real conundrum. However, it's a conundrum the FBI is working through. On Monday—the same day the agency made headlines by issuing wanted posters
for Chinese Army hackers—FBI director James Comey told an audience at
the White Collar Crime Institute about this little pot problem. "I have
to hire a great work force to compete with those cyber criminals, and
some of those kids want to smoke weed on the way to the interview,"
Comey said. Exactly how to do that is the hard part. Comey added that
the agency is "grappling with the question right now."
So
does this mean the FBI is looking to hire stoners? No, probably not. It
does look like our friends in federal law enforcement are warming up to
the idea of hiring people that like to take part in a fun activity
that's legal in two states and practically legal in many more, though.
In fact, Comey even told a member of the audience that his friend
"should go ahead and apply," even if he's worried about the policy. And so can you.
