We're the Only Ones Exceptionally Noncompetitive Enough

Section 1. Providing Conversion Authority. I find that conditions of good administration (specifically, the need to make the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Department of Justice (ATF), competitive in recruiting high quality special agents by giving the ATF an authority held by other Federal law enforcement agencies) make necessary an exception to the competitive examination rules for appointment to certain positions in the Federal civil service.

Yeah, you see, because it's so competitive and they're so exceptional, why make 'em compete?  Or something...

Because nothing says "high quality" quite like lowering the bar?

Anybody able to shed light on this? Is it anything like giving all the kids trophies, whether they actually win anything or not? Does this one entail self-esteem badges and guns?
