Oh Oh! Hope you didn't give away any secrets! Interesting. There are some quite interesting medical acronyms too.

I like those - have always been interested in law enforcement. My favorite is BOLO.

A friend's husband is a special agent for the FBI and we always get to discuss interesting things - of course he never shares all the details.

I too enjoyed "BOLO".

ICE has been in the news a lot lately.

I also enjoyed "PIT"
