and carrying Cold Official Police revolvers.
That is because the FBI has been spending over ten years (and two contractors) trying to upgrade their computers with little success.
No surprise that LockMart is involved. They've done such a bang-up job at "fixing" the Flight Service Stations (they do the telephone weather briefings) that more and more pilots that I know have been using computerized weather briefings to avoid having to wait on hold in order to talk to the LockMart dudes.
What is it with these guys? Why is it so hard to install a computer network with decent security? Or is it that the FBI has so fucked up the specs to make it impossible?

At Lockheed Martin, they never forget whose money they're stealing!
I seem to recall the IRS going thru the same upgrade shenanigans a few decades ago.
Um...maybe they never finished the upgrade?
And the DMV, Sexual Predator tracking, child support...the list goes on.
Heck! The gov agencies can't even write a spec for a hammer without a major clusterfu*k. Why would anyone think they could write a workable spec for an agency-wide computer system?
The latest balls-up I saw was the report on the F-35 - that one'll curl your hair and cross your eyes.
