tptacek, when you have a moment please answer the questions I asked you an hour ago here, addressing a number of falsehoods you have been claiming about this incident:

Of course you already saw that some time ago and chose not to answer, but that post does show that you are aware that I know exactly what the JTTF is, contrary to the bald faced and audacious lies you have just stated.
- tptacek 13y agoWhy, so you can find more ways to call me names too? "JTTF" does not not necessarily mean what you think it means; and in fact the interpretation you've used has probably already been shot down; David Gomez says LEOs involved in FBI-managed JTTFs all have federal credentials. But of course you knew that, right?
- ethomson 13y agoI'm not sure what you mean by this exactly. What does "federal credentials" mean? JTTFs are manned by both federal and local LEOs. The Chicago JTTF, for example, absolutely includes detectives from both Chicago Police Department and Cook County Sheriff's Police.
- tptacek 13y agoAccording to Gomez, as I understood him, when they're doing federal JTTF work, they display federal JTTF credentials. But he also said the term has lost meaning; it's used as a catch-all for specialized teams of any sort doing CT work.
- ethomson 13y agoI see. I've not seen authoritative JTTF credentials, or if I did I didn't look at it closely. I have seen a JTTF badge printed on an LEO business card, but I hadn't actually considered that there might actually be a legit JTTF shield!
