I'm waiting for an explanation of why this matters.  The FBI goes around
asking people questions.  Happens every day.  That's how they do their jobs.
If a couple of agents wanted to ask me questions, I'd let 'em, and answer
any such questions that I felt were appropriate.  I have nothing against
these guys doing their jobs, and don't understand why people would approach
such a situation with chips on their shoulders.  If these agents did
anything wrong here, I must have missed it.  So what's the big deal?
