Drug Smuggling Air Marshals - Is anyone surprised

From today's "Way off base:" http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1158902,00.html . I thought Way Off Base was supposed to be the catch-all for the unusual or weird. Or is the unusual part that these Air Marahsalls are actually getting prosecuted for it.?.

Prohibition corrupts law enforcement (and offers opportunities to become franchisors) - thus it always shall be. People should be allowed to own whatever they can obtain thru moral means (def.: mutually agreeable exchange - no force or fraud). The other side of the coin is that abusers of such items so that the abuse affects others must be promptly and severely punished.

In a related story...

I just head this one on the radio (wording changed a bit to spice it up) - no lie!
--------------------
Some poor victim of the govt. school system called and asked the desk sergeant at the Police Station where she could buy some mary jane. The desk sergeant said, "Sure, come on down," and gave her the address to the station.

Shortly she arrived and was surprised when all the officers at the station at that time came out to greet her...

---------------------
Not such a bad idea though, considering the first story. If she had gotten him on an unrecorded phone or on the street, out of uniform, the odds are good she could have gotten hooked up...
