>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.

So scrolling through this thread so far we have

- 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

They probably rely on a sense of patriotism/duty/exclusivity to make this work for other "on the line" departments
