Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the FBI started out with the idea of assisting states with the problem of apprehending criminals who fled across state lines? Said problem resulting from poor communications between different states and jurisdictions? We do live in an internet era nowadays. Every PD in the country is connected to the internet and to nationwide police databases. Less able PD's can be assisted by their state police when it is warranted.
My contention is that the FBI has become more of a problem than the problem it was originally intended to fix. It is worse than ineffective or corrupt, it is simply obsolete.
No one will protect us. Hanssen sat in FBI HEADQUARTERS for 15 long years selling us down the drain. Time to disband the organization and start over.
