That seemed a superficial way to approach a mob boss. It wold have made more sense for them toapproach him in a more sequestered environment and to explore ways that the mob could help identify terrorists. That, of course, wold have required a tit for tat.
You're right. I suppose they (the feds) approached Tony in that manner (in front of his home) as an added way of harrassment (showing Tony that they COULD do it) as much as trying to get their point across.
