This isn't top secret stuff, Ron. Anyone who understands probability well enough not to draw to an inside straight understands the principles involved here.
emphasis mine: exactly right! ^ classic left hand/right hand not knowing nor being able/wanting to talk to each other. you know, local leo's tell federal leo's "something is up" and federal leo's respond with something like "don't tell us how to do our job" or vv, emergency responders not all on the same radio frequency, and my pet peeve....not following the money as one fibbie pointed out to his superiors when he came across large amounts of money being wired to the (the suspected) ter'wrists via places like las to make it seem "normal" as a lot of money gets wired in/out of las and was told not to worry about it.
