All merely co-incidence, you see. Or perhaps a mistake, you see.
....The agents, who had arrived a 4:30 a.m. in full body armor, collected
several small arms during the raid, although no charges have been
filed against Mr. Flanagan, 54, during the nearly three months since.
Mrs. Hudson, 50, says that while the authorities were raiding her house, Coast Guard investigator Miguel Bosch — who formerly worked at the marshal service — began asking questions about whether she was the same “Audrey Hudson” who had written “the air marshal stories” for The Washington Times. Mrs. Hudson says she responded that she was...
...Reporter Audrey Hudson said the investigators, who included an agent for Homeland's Coast Guard
service, took her private notes and government documents that she had
obtained under the Freedom of Information Act during a predawn raid of
her family home on Aug. 6....
...It was not until roughly a month later, Mrs. Hudson
says, that she realized the agents had quietly seized five files from
her private office — including handwritten and typed notes from
interviews with numerous confidential sources related to her exclusive
reporting on the air marshals service.
The search warrant for the
raid, issued to Maryland State Trooper Victor Hodgin by a district
court judge, made no reference to the documents. A copy obtained by The
Times indicates that the search was to be narrowly focused on the
pursuit of “firearms” and their “accessories and/or parts,” as well as
any communications that that might be found in Mrs. Hudson and Mrs. Flanagan’s home related to “the acquisition of firearms or accessories.”
So Homeland Security has other occupations besides checking the underwear of grannies, nuns, and children at the airports!
Such as intimidating the adversarial press. And unconstitutionally seizing documents.
"Your papers, please!!!"
