Ding, ding, ding, and for good measure...ding.
Exactly!!! Imagine the maelstrom, should something had actually come of it.
Public: "You incompetent morons! You were given a lead
months before this happened! How could you have let this go uninvestigated?!?"
Secret Service: "But...but...it was just a
kid...doing a school project...and...and...the tip came from...
Walmart!"
Public: "Yeah, Walmart handed him up to you on a silver platter, and you just ignored it!"
Or...something right along those lines.
