USE FBI, DEA AGENTS

I read that many DEA agents were pulled off their task of watching the sick 
going in and out of West Coast medical marijuana buyers' clubs last week 
and rushed to take part in the investigation of terrorists. To help secure 
our travel safety, sky marshals are now to be recruited and then trained. 
FBI background checks conducted --- a task that will take many months. But 
already well qualified DEA, FBI and other federal agents are busy watching 
or busting marijuana users. They could be moved quickly, with the same pay 
and status, to permanent anti-terrorist tasks, including being sky marshals.
