The home of Audrey Hudson, a reporter for The Washington Times, was raided the pre-dawn of Aug. 6 by Maryland State Police and the Department of Homeland Security’s Coast Guard Investigative Service. They apparently were looking for a “potato gun” belonging to her husband, Paul Flanagan, who was a Coast Guard employee.
Flanagan has yet to be charged with anything although raiders did take notes pertaining to Ms. Hudson regarding stories she had written exposing problems in the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Air Marshals Service, and questioned her as to whether she was the Audrey Hudson who was writing those nasty stories.
Since when is it illegal to own a potato gun? The damn things are huge,slow to load and fire,only fire once before needing to be reloaded again,.......AND SHOOT POTATOES!
AND......,since when has it been illegal to write stories critical of the government in THIS country?
Is the new Office of Reich Security (thank you once again,Boy Jorge!) immune from having to comply with the 1st Amendment?
What other amendments are they free to ignore?
