Ah yes Clayton, Amendment Four. I remember reading something about that in law school, or maybe it was history class. Truly a beacon for the entire world. However, it became inconvenient and was gutted or "re-interpreted" in light of the Patriot Act. Now what red-blooded American can't get behind such a noble sounding piece of legislation? National security, "We're at War", "Can't let the Bastards win" and all that. Somebody lend me their fife and drum.

LOL

Ah yes, the deceptive ol' Patriot Act. NOW it makes sense.

Fife and drum on the way....

Those wonderful words like "unreasonable" have to be consistently reinterpreted in light of the times, no?

This news article seems to add a little bit more information of what was seized.

"Agents could be seen taking long cardboard boxes labeled "slugger" with contents sounding like wooden baseball bats jostling inside".

Perhaps the definition of WMD is expanding.
