Well if the sniper quoted names I can't imagine they'd be real names.

I've read Ma Bell used to have a system where when you called with a complaint and someone asked for your name... The name the operator gave was a fake one... and it varied depending on what they thought about you.

If the operator thought you had a legitimate complaint it would be one name, if she thought you were a deluded nut it would be another, and it if she thought you were a dishonest crank, there would be a third.

This way, when you called back, the next person who answered the phone would know from the "contact name" you gave just how the original operator had evaluated you and what you had to say.

Can't believe that the task force wouldn't use the same system. But then again, I sometimes get the feeling that we don't have the varsity team on the field.

Some say FBI stands for Federal Bureau of Incompetency.
