===== DAY ONE of the Age of Agent Mike =====

[derby378]

Hi, Agent Mike. I'd tell you to pull up a chair, but you already have.

As far as I know, you're busy reading and downloading every post on DU at this moment, and - thanks to Obama and 68 other Senators - you're free and clear to do so.

Agent Mike, the only request I can make at this time is this. Would you mind giving the Fourth Amendment a proper burial rather than wadding it up at tossing it into the wastebasket that holds the shredded FAA tapes from September 11? I'd appreciate that.

1. Hi Agent Mike?

why don't you use the skills you have learned and go after the real threats which are in DC?

2. Hi Agent Mike!

I've always been confused about the following question: if you can spy on all of us with impunity, how can you ever feel sure no one is spying on you? No skeletons in your closet there, Mikey?

3. Now THAT'S an idea...!

I need a parabolic microphone, a portable DAT recorder, a USB drive loaded with hacking software, a matching fedora and trenchcoat, and acting lessons from Robert Stack. Then I can be a Junior G-Man Agent Mike Surveillance Technician!

6. Does this mean that he can stop hiding and start posting here?

That would be interesting.
