Reaction: Neither the FBI nor national attention should be needed to deal with swatting. A century before SWAT teams existed, any experienced and street-savvy cop - even if he hadn't graduated high school - was quite aware of nasty people who regularly tried to use the police as pawns. Officers with poor people skills and/or easily-pushed "I'm an Action Hero!" buttons need to be eased out of police work.
