- Arrath 3y agoRandom aside, but ATF field personnel used to be 'Inspectors' and we had a pretty good working relationship during annual inspections and so on. Sometime in the Post-9/11 era they transitioned to 'Investigators' and the majority of them got a big stick up their rear ends and it has become a trying, adversarial relationship every time they come out.
