"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."
1. The FBI are already operating without authorization (meaning they could get in major trouble and be recalled to the US immediately) by being in Japan. Conan/Shinichi pretty much only knows Japan. Oh hey by the way! He's a Japanese citizen.
2. 17/18 is precisely the wrong age for a recruit - the US intelligence organizations want people with some sort of experience in a professional field, not just someone who is smart. (Although I would not doubt this may actually happen in the manga, since Aoyama would not know/care about such things.)
3. The only way James would 'hire him to work for the FBI' is as an informant, which I doubt would be a fitting career for Shinichi.
