America Willing To Hire Marijuana-Hacktivists Against China?

[dsteve01]

Recently, the justice department was able to formally charge five (5) members of the Chinese government in relation to subterfuge activities. Mostly, in-relation to the ongoing hacks against the New York Times for their coverage of “Billions in Hidden Riches for Family of Chinese Leader”. However, American ‘network adminstrators’ have a well know habit to smote matriculates amounts of Marijuana on the way to the interview as stated by Gizmo:

“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.’”

"[. . .] 11. How does the background investigation process work? Because of the sensitive nature of the FBI’s missions, all FBI positions require at least a Top Secret Security Clearance. Before employees can start work with the FBI, they must undergo an intensive background investigation that includes a polygraph examination, a test for illegal drugs, credit and records checks, and extensive interviews with former and current colleagues, neighbors, friends, professors, etc. Please also note that there are certain employment requirements that may disqualify you from consideration for employment with the FBI. Before applying for any position with the FBI, please be sure that the FBI Employment Disqualifiers do not apply to you.”

So what does this mean for America? Is the FBI more willing to hire Blackwater groups to our dirty work for us or will they embrace the stoner-culture within the hacker community? To be honest–I’m sure they’ll never get the ‘hardcore’ lot that hang out with the hacktivists (the sort who have a peaceful cause to fight for).

But I’d like to hear what you think.
