"Girls Teach Teen Cyber Gab to FBI Agents

As undercover assignments go, posing as a teenage girl online to catch pedophiles has its share of challenges for the typical FBI agent."

"During the past year, the three have been teaching agents across the country how to communicate just like teenage girls, complete with written quizzes on celebrity gossip and clothing trends and assigned reading in Teen People and YM magazines. The first time the girls gave a quiz, all the agents failed.

"They, like, don't know anything," said Mary, 14, giggling."

"The girls were recruited after one of their fathers, an agent involved in the pedophile investigations, watched her instant messaging a friend and couldn't understand what she was typing. He realized that FBI training wasn't enough."

Please check out the article for quite a lot more interesting reading on how the good guys work to catch the bad.
