I don't mean to defend the FBI's activites, I just mean to note that if your reason for being is "opposing X", then it's reasonable that you check your employees for X. The FBI opposes drugs big time. It doesn't care about people speeding in cars.

> The FBI opposes drugs big time. It doesn't care about people speeding in cars. First: If the FBI opposes drugs: then they should at least as strongly oppose nicotine and (in particular) alcohol, too. Oh, you mean drugs that are by some historic accident illegal. Second: Do the cybersecurity jobs one does at the FBI have any property that will prevent former pot smokers doing them? If not, it's simply a discrimination.

  Isn't the management of alcohol and tobacco in the US hived off to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms?
