Almost 150 yrs. ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private
investigator - Mr. Alan Pinkerton. He was actually the beginning of the
Secret Service.Since that time federal police authority has grown to a large number of three-letter agencies - FBI, CIA, INS, IRS, DEA, ATF, etc.
Now comes a proposal for another agency: The "Federal Air Transportation Airport Security Service."
Can you see it now, the new service in their black outfits with their
initials in large white letters across their backs? FATASS.
