Same reason that when an informant said a DA Civilian offered to sell hand grenades at Ft. Lewis years ago, and set up a meet for me, I called ATF for back-up since it was to be off post. Three cars with four agents each showed up for the meet. Had it been on post, I would have, maybe, had one CID Special Agent stand by for back-up.But why (rhetorical question hat on) in the world would it be necessary for 3 agents to do this kind of check. Holy cow, our tax dollars at work.
(Turned out the grenades were just empty casings like you can buy from novelty stores.)
The point is, ya just never know.
