Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a
private investigator - Alan Pinkerton - for protection. That was the
beginning of the Secret Service. Since that time, the federal
government has produced a large number of multi-letter agencies such
as:
FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, BATF, etc.
Now we have the "Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service".
Can't you see them now, these highly trained men and women in their
black outfits with jackets saying across the backs: "F.A.T.A.S.S."
I feel safer already.
