STORIES BY EMAIL. Most suck. Most are too long. Most I've already seen and thought they sucked and were too long. My dad sent this one today... twas perfect, and funny: Almost 150 years ago, President Lincoln found it necessary to hire a private investigator -Alan Pinkerton - for protection (since Lincoln was shot, I wouldn't recommend this agency) 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, IRS, DEA, BATF, 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 their initials in large white letters across their backs: "FATASS." I feel safer already Way to go, pops! peace- seanrox
