I feel similarly to your thought on LEOs. I think I'd want to verify who they were before I'd let them in my house since I don't have a clue what a DOJ Task Force badge or ID card looks like. As far as asking to see a warrant, I dunno that I'd insist on it, but I might ask them to come back after I'd woken up a bit and made a call to DOJ to make sure they were who they said they were, and maybe call the local PD to see if they could send someone by.

Maybe I'm not paranoid enough, but I think that's how I'd roll. Now if I had something to hide or they didn't pass the "attitude test", whole 'nuther story.
