"Even after warrants are approved, the FBI often does not have enough agents "

I'm sure some of the good people here would be glad to volunteer. :)

Actually, there is a simple solution and rather cost effective, too.

The FBI can give the warrants to the local law enforcement agencies to serve. The Law enforcemennt Agencies can in turn bill the FBI for services rendered. The FBI can ask the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to allow money in the FBI budget to be allotted for this service. So simple and costs less than hiring more FBI agents.

BANANA BUNCHY-TOP DISEASE - USA (HAWAII)



http://starbulletin.com/2004/04/17/news/story9.html


Banana disease confirmed on eastern Big Isle
Agriculture officials are examining the extent of the bunchy-top virus


Banana bunchy-top virus (BBTV) has been confirmed for the 1st time on the
Big Island's east side, the state's main banana-producing region.

The state Department of Agriculture is checking banana plants at Keaau
Banana Plantation, one of the state's largest banana growers, and at
surrounding banana farms to determine the extent of the disease, said Kyle
Onuma, of the department's Hilo office.

Richard Ha, president of Keaau Banana Plantation, believes that about 35
acres of Williams bananas on his 200-acre plantation might have the
disease. Ha will meet with Agriculture Department and University of Hawaii
experts on how to cope with the disease next week. "I think we can deal
with it," he said.

Since 1999 more than 175 000 banana plants have been eradicated in North
Kona after BBTV was discovered there. The virus also is present on Kauai
from Hanalei to Lawai; on Maui in Pukalani and Makawao; and is widespread
on Oahu.

BBTV is a member of the genus Nanovirus, not the genus Nanavirus named
earlier.
