Who else would they use?<br /><br />Not the FBI, which is notoriously difficult to work with, and which historically prefers high profile, easy to solve cases (hence their notoriety in bank robberies (lots of witnesses) and kidnappings (2nd contact required to receive ransom, plus the victim is a likely witness)). Plus they have a high dollar threshold, if inflation adjusted, it would be $200K in today's dollars, which in this case too many Social Security and Medicare fraud cases will be under.<br /><br />You could also look at the old Army Air Force vs. an independent service branch question: there's a big difference between asking another agency to help you and being able to order your own people to investigate a situation. As it stands, they have to work the DoJ to prosecute, adding another party would just complicate things.ThatWouldBeTellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910231314995266781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-89808482891326083022012-08-16T09:06:56.507-06:002012-08-16T09:06:56.507-06:00Its effect in not only monetary.

A child that died in the fire could not be identified quickly because the dental record didn't match the reality on the body.
