If DHS/CBP would issue e-readers such as the Kindle or Sony e-reader to CBP basic trainees instead of constantly updating and reprinting materials it would. after the initial expenditure, greatly reduce the cost of training to the federal gov't. These can be items that the trainee has to sign for as any other piece of equipment and is responsible for such. This would also eliminate the need for those costly backpacks that are issued to each new trainee. The technologies are in place to include the wireless networks at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC).
Use E-readers instead printing books for basic academies
