Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary
to hire a private investigator, Mr. Alan Pinkerton. This was actually the beginning of the Secret Service.
Since that time federal police authority has grown to a large number of agencies - FBI, CIA, INS, IRS,
DEA, BATF, SS, ATF, etc. Now Congress is considering a proposal for another agency: The "Federal Air
Transportation Airport Security Service." Can't you see it now, the new service in their black outfits with their initials in large white letters across their backs?
