The blue and yellow # T-shirts have ``F-B-I'' on the front and back, which agents # complain is very similar to the shirts they sometimes wear. # # The shirts are part of an apparel line that also copies uniforms # worn by security guards and jail inmates. # # FBI spokeswoman Lori Bailey said Target, which has more than # 970 stores across the United States, is the largest retailer # known to sell the T-shirts.
