Energy Dept: Nuclear Weapons Drivers Drank on the Job
-----------------------------------------------------



A new report from the Energy Department has revealed federal agents
hired to transport nuclear weapons and components sometimes got drunk
while on convoy missions. There have been at least 16 alcohol-relted
incidents involving employees of the Office of Secure Transportation
between 2007 and 2009. In one incident last year, police detained two
agents who went to a bar during an assignment.
