So...does Mr Young want to describe the FBI non/encounter? (Perhaps he has but I've been out of town and the hotmail account barfed up most recent posts.)

What I don't yet fully grasp is why they bother. I suppose there are the following, but I suspect there's one key thing in their minds:

1) Scope out potential sources of arrestability. 2) Intimidate into "straighten up and fly right" 3) Pre-BB or not so-BB-work: Readily available weapons, etc...in case of raid? 4) Just sniffing out the orietation/motivations...ie, raghead or non-raghead?

Of the above I consider 3) Unlikely, 2) Not superlikely, 1) Fairly likely and 4) Most probable.

While I agree on your assessment, don't forget 5) CYA. Since 9/11, the lower echelons of the security apparatus know that if Something Bad happens, and they are shown to have discounted any hint or suspicion concerning any person even very peripherally involved, their ass is grass and their career goes in the toilet.
