From the International Herald Tribune:
Security contractor in Baghdad shooting is flying high
WASHINGTON: Last autumn, Blackwater Worldwide was in deep peril.
Guards for the security company were involved in a shooting in September that left at least 17 Iraqis dead at a Baghdad intersection. Outrage over the killings prompted the Iraqi government to demand Blackwater's ouster from the country, a criminal investigation by the FBI, a series of internal investigations by the State Department and the Pentagon, and high-profile congressional hearings.

An individual employed by the Pinkerton Detective Agency, or similar organization, may not be employed by the Government of the United States or the government of the District of Columbia.
If this law doesn't cover Blackwater then the fine, upright, moral gentlemen in Congress should write a new one that does.
