Big surprise...the problem is the very nature of the job.

The worst thing that can happen to me on a trip is ending up on a deadhead or commute without a book or magazine...I go nuts just staring at the seat in front of me.

FAM's are not allowed to read, sleep, watch movies, etc. Most folks who are what you think of as federal-agent material would be find the monotony unbeareable. Personally I think they ought to be allowed to do anything but sleep...not like they're going to miss a terrorist attack because they are reading a magazine.

Just like TSA agents/cops/etc..., anyone that suddenly get a power-trip will take advantage of it because they believe they are untouchable!
