New New Federal Agency

[Tigermike 3,055]

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, federal police

authority has grown to a large number of multi-letter agenciesS - FBI,

CIA , INS, IRS, DEA, ATF, etc.

Now comes the Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service. Can't

you see them now? These highly trained men and women in their black

outfits with initials in large white letters across their backs?

F. A. T. A. S. S. - - - - - - - I feel safer already.
