Ok, Al. I get it. It's, as far as I understand it, no more than a number to phone to
the police if you see something that may be connected to crime. A telephone for
tipping of to the FBI, or something, that something odd is observed. Then it will be
for the detectives to follow up and investigate. A reasonable plan and no big deal, I
agreee.
Funny how the press can make a flock of hens out of a feather, eh?
