I learned something in that article.
According to the local head of the FBI,a rocket launcher can be dangerous if it gets in the wrong persons hands.
Hmmm.
Well, I'm glad the 2nd Amendment is finally getting the respect it deserves.
For the record, Clinton cut the CIA field officer force by 25% on his path to balancing the budget. I'd like to believe that 9/11 was just a bad coincidence, but logic tells me that fewer officers in the field recruiting agents was detrimental to our national security infrastructure, and ultimately our national security.
The CIA has also been crippled by government legal prosecution for using what they feel are harsh investigative techniques.
Political correctness is rampant in the FBI, CIA and the Military - which is one reason they can't and won't protect us. Yes - they will react to a devastating attack - with restraint - but they won't stop serious attacks...
Too many in these organizations are afraid to speak up and act - they don't want to lose their pensions...
Sad observation - but an accurate one - I believe.

Nobody, not even the president, knows how many there are, who they are, or how much money they have.
One thing 9/11, the 'shoe bomber', the Fort Hood Massacre, and the recent 'Underwear bomber' have taught is is this...
No one can count on police, CIA, FBI, Military or government to protect us.
The system is so crippled by political-correctness, that it will take an Islamic Terrorist attack with a WMD - and tens or hundreds of thousands (or more) dead on US soil before we wake up and toss political correctness aside, and fight a real bona-fide WAR on Islamic Terrorism...
I for one don't think we'll do what is necessary until we are hit much much harder than we were on 9/11. And I am virtually positive that within my lifetime, we will be hit by a devastating WMD attack.
I'm afraid you are correct there HubbleRules. We've been lucky so far and I do mean lucky rather than on the ball with security.
I'm sure no one wants to read something like this happening in the US:
"A suicide bomber blew himself up in an SUV at a volleyball game in northwest Pakistan yesterday, killing 88 people in a village that opposes al-Qaeda-linked Taliban insurgents, police said."

Go Texas!
Somehow I think that the 2nd amendment is not in play here.
A rocket launcher ? What was he going to do..deer hunting where the entire deer is blown to smithereens ?
Although we do have a problem with feral pigs which are hard to take down.

You don't need a hunting permit to bare an arm or your teeth.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Officers and Agents are different entities. You are correct that no one but the CIA has an idea how many Agents are out there, but i'm pretty sure that those who "need to know" are apprised of how many CIA Officers there are. Someone hired them, someone cuts them a paycheck.
CIA Officer - employed by the CIA
CIA Agent - recruited by the CIA but not employed by the CIA

Paid in cash (agents).
When an officer is fired, he/she comes back as an agent - and he/she may or may not be "helpful" to the person who fired her/him.
Houston police said they did a thorough investigation and did not find any ties to terrorists or a terrorist network.
That should make everybody feel better.
Oh real good now, i'll just go to bed keeping the door unlocked, nothing to worry about, i feel so much better.
