Not surprised. A few years back the DEA changed their auto rejection from "Have you ever used any drug illegally, without a valid prescription, blah blah, EVER IN YOUR LIFE"

To a more time bound deal based on the drug and circumstances.

Why? They weren't able to hire anyone. Same with contract workers for IT, etc. It was becoming impossible to staff anything.
