Today in the news: FBI attempts to stem 'rash of sexting'

Quote of note

"We're hoping (that) getting the message out in the quarterlies is going to teach people, as well as their supervisors ... you can't do this stuff. When you are given an FBI BlackBerry, it's for official use. It's not to text the woman in another office who you found attractive or to send a picture of yourself in a state of undress. That is not why we provide you an FBI BlackBerry." - FBI assistant director Candice Will. The FBI has begun releasing internal disciplinary reports quarterly in attempt to stem what they call a "rash of sexting cases." CNN obtained these reports, which also contain accounts of a worker secretly bugging a supervisor's office, an employee engaging in a relationship with a drug dealer (now their husband) and lying about it when questioned, and another who had to be subdued by police after a drunken confrontation with a weapon at his mistress' house. All of the employees previously mentioned were fired.
