BUT -- as a rule, it doesn't pay to be clever with the FBI. The best response is to order them out of the house. They can make use of clever repartee with them. Two agents called on me once -- later I realized they weren't calling on Carrol Cox, activist; the agents calling had probably never heard of me. They were calling on Carrol Cox, parent of a daughter who had gone to Cuba on the Venceremos Brigade. My daughter woke me up one Saturday mroning, somewhat excitedly. to say two men wanted to speak to me. I had to piss, she fussed a bit, that made irritared to begin with by the time I got downstairs. One of them pulls out his ID and said they wanted to talk to me. I said, "Am I under arrest." He looked a bit puzzled but said, No. "You may go" I said, and they left. Had I not been rudely awakened & suffering from morning irritation I might or might not have acted so simply -- but I really think something like that is the best respnse to the FBI (or for that matter, local cvops).
