The largest federal law enforcement agency needs more agents to investigate its own. The Integrity Advisory Panel at Customs and Border Protection is calling for nearly 350 new internal affairs investigators to root out what it calls "systemic corruption." The group's report also urges officials to revise some policies and recommends specific restrictions on the use of firearms. Gil Kerlikowske is the commissioner of Customs and Border Protection. He joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive with his reaction to what the advisory panel is recommending.
