You can now be the subject of an FBI investigation simply based on your political views (aka, the expression of one of your fundamental rights)... http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/29/us...nted=1&_r=1&hp
Enjoy! |

That includes money in your wallet, bass cabs, the clothing that you are currently wearing, etc.

Just thought I'd mention it. |

-Mike | Have dinner and a beer ready for them!  Put the pipes away too!
I would like to know that specific guidelines as to reasonable cause are in place to avoid unnecessary and illegitimate investigations. Right now. I do not know that such guidelines exist or what they may be.

-Mike | Under the much-beloved Patriot Act, the FBI can investigate you if they THINK you MIGHT talk about pipe bombs. Or if they just don't like you. Fact. Civil rights are at a low ebb these days.
