Good one!
Or he could get a shoe phone and replace it with the xpap and sleep with his foot in his mouth.

Make sure you get the FBI extra strength odor eaters, you could sanitize the unit with foot spray. Jim

Sounds like a good question to me. Many types of CIA employees would just have desk jobs in a fixed location. Some will need to be able to go to a primitive location on short notice and survive without reliable electrical power.
Some government agencies are sort of pig headed and try to make everyone fit the same mold. They might treat everyone as if they may be deployed to a primitive location at a moment's notice.
I find it interesting if the military doesn't disqualify for sleep apnea any more. Do they put apneacs on restricted duty or provide some sort of backup batteries as needed?

Of course it would be too simple to go to their web page and send an email to ASK. Most websites have a Careers tab.

How could you expect them to tell you the truth, they are in the lying bussiness. They also don't run opps and spy on U.S. citizens , in the U.S.A.
The sky isn't blue, it's orange with green stripes, it says so in the CIA manuel. Jim

So here is a description of a Canadian Intelligence analyst:
http://ca.news.yahoo.com/nerd-farm-no-m ... 20134.html
"He or she must be good at everything, a Renaissance man or woman. It's not enough that you know a rare language. You have to be a brilliant speaker, a competent Java coder, a master of social media, a social psychologist, a political scientist, a tactician, a statistician, a geospatial expert, and an expert navigator of the bureaucracy," she said.
"To be good at all of this you have to be smart, smart, smart."
Successful analysts are also intensely curious and prone to detours. "Their college transcripts, or their extra-curricular study, are littered with strange diversions and investigations outside the prescribed route."
Many CSEC employees know more than one language — and the agency seeks out those who speak uncommon ones.
"Our experience is that training people from scratch to learn difficult languages just doesn't pay off, and it doesn't impart the cultural instincts that are so valuable," Bruce said.

CPAP machines can report your data back to your doctor. PRISM is watching you snore!

They do not put them on restrictive duty normally. Most deploy worldwide.
