Feel Safe ?

Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator - Alan Pinkerton - for protection. And that was the beginning of the Secret Service.

Since that time, federal police authority has grown to a large number of multi-letter agencies - FBI, CIA, INS, and IRS.

Now we have the "Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service."

Can't you see them now, these highly trained men and women in their DEA, BATF, etc. black outfits with their initials in large white letters across their backs ... "FATASS"

We feel safer already...
