There was a time in this Country's history when people who handled public funds were required to make a bond.

The practice should be reinstated at all levels of the Federal Government.

It is still required though not enforced. Next time you get a nasty letter from the IRS challenge the agents credentials. Chances are they will not have the required indemnification, and chances are they will not have record of having taken a valid oath of office.
