How can I find a federal job?

On September 11, 2001, the Federal Air Marshal Service consisted of only 33 FAMs. As a result of the 9/11 attacks, President George W. Bush ordered the rapid expansion of the Federal Air Marshal Service. Many new hires were agents from other federal agencies, such as the U.S. Customs Service, Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. Postal Inspection Service . A classified number of applicants were hired, trained, and deployed on flights around the world. As of August, 2006, this number is estimated to be in the thousands. Currently, these FAMs serve as the primary law enforcement entity within the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
