If the security guard suspicion was justified. The FBI found out that is wasn't. Case closed. They did everything by the book. And are you telling me that they shouldn't?
They should exercise some judgment, realize some bored-ass security guards (think about how dull it must be to guard a site like that) made a report just to feel important, and then toss it right in the trash can.
It was a guy taking pictures of a structure in public. No, the FBI should not be tracking him down.
Yes, except I want them to establish cognitive biases. Let's leave off that 'risk' part, as the risk is already inherent when you bark up wrong trees throughout the investigation. (time loss is the result of the risk posed by uncertain guesswork)
Let's get rid of that 'instead' you used, too. Sneaky! There's no reason for 'establish cognitive bias' and 'find the truth' to be exclusive from one another, is there?
So here's the new cleaned up version I think I can get behind :
"I would like the FBI to establish cognitive biases as a tool towards the goal of finding the truth."
Yeah. Exactly. The FBI chased a dead lead instead of investigating (actually) urgent matters, wasting time and taxpayer money in the process.
The agents may have acted fine. Whoever told them to act, or decided to act on such flimsy circumstances, are the ones who are wrong.
If the agents decided to investigate this at their own discretion perhaps it was a way to instantiate a cross-country vacation within the workplace. That'd be the best we could hope for, because if the agents thought that this guy was a threat (especially given his names' public image and photography portfolio), that's a problem.
You're not at all scared that FBI agents interpret the suspicions of a security guard with greater priority than some random person on the side of the road? I've met plenty of security guards, and a number of them were so grossly under qualified that the thought of them as some sort of authority figure is horrifying, doubly so with FBI backing.
