US Marshal Anthony Dichio, supervisor of a staff whose job it is to protect judges, juries, and jailed suspects at Massachusetts' three federal courthouses, is SOOooooo screwed.

It's 2:58 on a gorgeous fall afternoon, and US Marshal Anthony Dichio is 35 miles from the federal courthouse in Boston where he works. As he steers his government-issued sport utility vehicle along the leafy roadways of Westford, Dichio lazily hangs his left arm out the window.
He'll be home in three minutes, having put in a total of three hours and one minute in the office.

For the 10 days in late September and October during which the Globe observed him, Dichio worked an average of four hours and 17 minutes. For each of the days, according to time sheets obtained by the Globe, he was credited with a full eight hours of work.
The surveillance was conducted by two reporters, who were sometimes joined by a Globe photographer. The Globe staked out Dichio's Westford neighborhood, noted his departure time each day, and followed his route from there. On days when he went to his office, which is located in the federal courthouse in Boston, the Globe kept watch on the only exit of the building's garage, to record his time of departure from the courthouse and follow him home.

On most days, the former trooper drove the highways at speeds frequently exceeding 85 miles per hour to Boston, passing cars and changing lanes.
