ELI5: What makes a "Special Agent" so special? Does the FBI/etc have Un-special agents?
gpt
An Agent is simply a representative of the government who can conduct investigations. They do not possess the special power to also arrest people. FBI agents are “Special Agents” because they are able to both conduct investigations and they possess the special power to make arrests.

They have agents and they have special agents.
