Wellllllllll....I've been 'interviewed' twice by the secret service. Fun trivia.
First time when I was in high school and in the printing class, made some prints of cash and was found out. School made a big deal, SS & the cops didn't. Got in house suspension and some restrictions in the class but eventually ended up designing and printing the 'funny money' used in the senior trip 'casino'. I love the irony.
Second time I was in the military and was passing through then Yugoslavia, which was still part of the Soviet Union, and we wrecked our car. Extended stay, court, a 200$ fine (some millions in local currency) and flew back to my base in England, which was a 'spy base', so had a lot of clandestine operations...and they didn't look fondly on someone going through a communist country without prior authorization...but then they determined it was as they suspected: I was (and probably still am) an utter dumbass.
