Cry me a river.
So even the article says the main reason they can't hire good hackers is that the can't offer reasonable compensation, long term career prospects etc. But het, much easier to blame those hackers for smoking pot. This is just a stupid excuse for why he is not doing his job effectively.

Three years is kind of crazy. NSA, CIA, and other agencies it's one year. FBI should have the easiest time finding hackers. Unlike the CIA and NSA, they have offices in almost every major city, but they don't seem to take advantage of that at all. They don't event list any tech/cyber/whatever roles here: https://apply.fbijobs.gov/
False. NSA is definitely 10 years [1]. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_Scope_Background_Invest...
The purpose of clearance investigations isn't to dig up dirt in order to hurt you you, it's to find out what dirt foreign intel services can dig up on you in order to hurt/blackmail you.

CIA: "To be considered suitable for Agency employment, applicants must generally not have used illegal drugs or misused prescription drugs within the last 12 months."
NSA: "Recent and/or frequent use of illegal drugs, including marijuana even in states whose laws permit its recreational or medical use, could raise a security concern, and may be disqualifying"
Three years seems like an unreasonable timespan. They might end up with people who have little to no social skills with that kind of policy. I don't mean to say that not abstaining for that length of time is abnormal, but young people who are the most adept and skilled with new technologies are bound to find themselves in a situation where they take a hit. I wonder if the drug tests after that are regularly scheduled…
>I wonder if the drug tests after that are regularly scheduled or if they take you at your word once you're hired. If the FBI anything like the DOE it's random for the duration you have a clearance. Random polygraphs too which are much, much worse.
- No smoking pot in 3 years
- Random drug tests
- Random lie detector tests
- Not the best pay in the world
- Lousy career prospects
- Working with others who they admit aren't the most technical in the world
Yeah can't see why they're having trouble hiring
I even think it was posted at that time (or maybe a similar article)
Well, can't say I'm sorry for them.

I've literally never seen actual marijuana in real life before, even in a state where it's legal. So I'm not sure I buy this argument that you can't go 3 years without smoking the stuff.
