Attended this second round interview recently at a govt agency and felt that my time was quite wasted and the interview panel was rather insincere as one of the interviewers kept harping on the negative aspects of me seeking new employment and directly asked me if I would continue to seek other job openings if I were not offered the job, while the other interviewer were busy on his laptop and seemed to be uninterested in the interview throughout the whole session. HR also remained quiet throughout the whole interview session. Nonetheless, the interview gave me an opportunity to prepare better for the next one that comes along.
Which agency is that?

It's not unusual, though I haven't experienced it myself (I've been to interviews at ~5 gov agencies).
