I doubt whether the FBI deals with food distribution as part of it's duties.
Some people just have a great poker face and can carry a joke for ages, just look at candid camera.

You misunderstand, I don't doubt Antar. I've seen my share of workplace jokes and this just looks like another one to me.
As for the FBI, they're glorified cops, and mostly good cops. If the CIA was mentioned I would be concerned.

An important part of the Working Group's mission is to help the OIE define approaches to the development of standards relating to food-borne hazards arising from animals at the on-farm level.
The Working Group has held six meetings since 2002 and has addressed many important issues, including the relationship and coordination between the OIE and the CAC; OIE standards for animal diseases of public health significance; the role and functionality of veterinary services in food safety; control of public health hazards through ante- and post-mortem meat inspection; the identification and traceability of live animals and their products; good farming practices; antimicrobial resistance; good practices in animal feeding; international veterinary certification; ...

FDA formed an internal multi-Center group to meet with external entities (such as industry, consumers, and Federal, state, local, and foreign governments) to better understand the universe of track and trace systems that are currently in use or being developed. FDA has reached out to various organizations, including trade associations and consumer groups, to gain a better understanding of best industry practices for traceability, including the use of electronic and other technologies that speed and enhance the traceback process and the use of systems that connect all the links in the produce supply chain. FDA is using this information to develop recommendations for the fresh produce industry to use to improve its internal traceback systems. We plan to hold a public meeting in the fall to further the exchange of information on available technology and best practices for enhanced traceability. ...

Thanks for the links I will check them out, however they were there for 5 weeks, and this thread is not about our fight with them, it is about the fact that my husband called on an in house system to talk to his supervisor and the FBI answered. At no time during their occupation did any thefts get reported, odd that in retrospect that is the picture they paint.
Did you know that in 2003 there was a FBI investigation? Might account for the screwy phone calls.
Associated Wholesale Grocers Inc. was defrauded of more than $650,000 through a scheme involving fake invoices for products and goods it never received, according to a federal grand jury indictment.

Parents track teen drivers from space
Anxious parents now have a high-tech way to keep track of their teenagers out driving the family car here, there and everywhere.
Freeport-based Elite Logistics Inc. has teamed up with Track-A-Teen Inc. to offer parents a way to directly monitor their offspring in cyberspace.
Dallas-based Track-A-Teen is marketing Elite's PageTrack global positioning satellite system to parents who want a little extra safeguard for the kiddos, from those who tend to get lost to those who forget to come home on time.
The driving program provides other safety features for teens, including a panic button, roadside assistance and automatic collision notification.
Track-A-Teen executives admit this may not be very popular with young drivers. If a teen happens to miss curfew, the parents would immediately be able to determine their location via the Internet. Or at least, where the car is.
The name Track-A-Teen is probably already dreaded by young drivers because of the company's "How's my driving?" bumper sticker program. The sticker invites other drivers to confidentially report driving incidents to their parents via a toll-free number.
More than 3,000 parents participate in the program, which forwards reports to them by e-mail, fax or mail within 24 hours.

Elite Transport Services has announced that it is opening a new transport operation at the Port of Thamesport.
Part of ongoing strategic expansion plans, the company discovered a shortage of resources in and around the Port of Thamesport.
The new operation will provide extra capacity to serve the needs of customers transiting the port, particularly following recent additional business that has been won or transported to the port.
A meeting has been held between Hutchinson Port UK, owner of Thamesport, and Elite to discuss investment and development plans and the future of Thamesport as a deep sea port. Elite has appointed John McCarthy as the new depot manager for Thamesport in preparation for the new operation.
In a statement, Elite said: "At Elite Transport we are continually striving to meet the demands of our customers, and the first class service that is expected, the opening of our Thamesport operation will assist many of our existing customers, and further enhance our extensive network coverage."
Located in south-east England, 35 miles from London, Thamesport is one of the busiest container ports in the UK and is a member of the Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH) Group, a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited (HWL), the world's leading port investor, developer and operator.
