Is this SOP? or ODD? Seems weird to me, but what do I know? :shrug:

1. Who cares,

As long as it's a search & rescue mission.

They need all the help they can get

2. Maybe the poster means if the FBI is here, they are not fighting crime

as they are intended to do?

4. Just curious.

Wasn't aware they handled search and rescue.

9. I think that's the question:

Search and rescue, or something else?

3. There were ATF teams moving around within 72 hours also.

One of these ATF units made the questionable arrest of two kids who were allegedly taking pot shots in the dark at a helicopter with a .22 pistol.

Funny how they can get these federal special ops teams into place but can't seem to move much lifesaving resources with speed.

5. Hmmmmm maybe there to "clean house" because ** is taking a walking

tour there today???

BTW...the FBI were in NOLA day one to protect Fed Bldgs.

6. Ok, confession time.

You twisted my arm. Forced it out of me. It wasn't completely simple curiosity. Wondered if there was a link between the pic of them on a search and rescue mission yesterday and **'s appearance today.

Damn, OmmmSweetOmmm, you're good! :)

Wasn't aware of their presence before this, thanks.

8. Soup, your welcome and thanks for the laugh! I recall hearing

someone using the term in regard to the FBI being deployed, as there to protect American interests. I wish I could remember the source and if I come up with it, I'll post it.

7. "Search and Rescue," or "Seek and Destroy?"

To-may-to.

To-mah-to.
