LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Well you know, a CNN viewer has a question about the FBI's handling of this Hanssen spy case -- that's in today's "ASK CNN."</s>ARTHUR DEJADON: My name is Arthur Dejadon, from Townsend, Massachusetts. Considering the Hanssen case, I'd like to ask CNN, "How come the FBI didn't wait to catch the pick-up man?"</s>DAVID ENSOR, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY CORRESPONDENT: You can rest assured that FBI counterintelligence officials were watching to see whether or not a Russian, perhaps a Russian diplomat accredited in the United States, went to the park to try to pick up materials allegedly left by Robert Hanssen. It is possible that you might see in the coming days or weeks the expulsion of one or more Russian diplomats from the United States. This sometimes happens in spy cases. You might see a diplomat declared persona non grata and told to leave the country because of activities inconsistent with his or her status as a diplomat. Translation: we don't like you picking up spy materials in parks.
