The FBI has always been a breeding ground for Hollywood filmmakers, given the privacy and ambiguity surrounding the agency.
Despite the confidentiality of the Office, some of the secrets and information that many do not know about the FBI unfold from time to time, whether intended by the Bureau or unintentionally.
According to the Reader's Digest website, the office keeps fingerprints of large numbers of citizens, even though they have not been arrested before, reaching more than 100 million fingerprints at a huge compound in Virginia.
It is interesting to note that the Office did not use the "digital system" to store data until 2012, for reasons related to computer encoding problems.
Many do not know Walt Disney served in the FBI as a secret agent between 1940 and 1966, according to documents released under the Freedom of Information Act.
Former President Ronald Reagan was appointed as a T-10 agent and worked alongside his wife to provide the FBI with names of representatives believed to be supporters of the communist regime.
The office has a "family tree" for millions of Americans. According to the Reader's Digest, the Foundation has files of people who have undergone DNA testing.
Contrary to the prevailing belief in the immunity of the staff of the Office, they are in fact not above the law. A number of them were dismissed last October in offices outside the United States after being convicted of charges of conduct.
The Office does not have to be fully aware of the CIA operations. According to a Newsweek report, some information related to the September 11 attacks is still blocked from the FBI.
One of the requirements for joining the Office is that the applicant has a clean record of drug abuse and not less than 23 years of age, as well as passing a number of physical tests and possessing necessary skills for the positions offered.
