It&#x27;s like fsloth said earlier in this thread: someone needs to fall.<p>Personally, twice I had FBI field agents as my neighbor, and I while my n=2 can hardly be generalized, my first impression (and you only get one chance to make a good first impression) is that the FBI doesn&#x27;t get to hire the cream-of-the-crop. 
Maybe it&#x27;s not the staff fault: the FBI seems to be investing a lot more in their PR department than in its departments actually doing the job in the trenches.
