Update on Matt Mihsen.
Texas man charged in Detroit with smuggling money to Syria
DETROIT (AP) -- A Texas man who told authorities he was headed to Syria to try to collect a $25 million bounty on Osama bin Laden has been indicted on charges of attempting to smuggle more than $13,000, a Taser stun device, ammunition and radiation detectors.
The indictment against Matt Mihsen, 47, was handed down Tuesday, and he is scheduled to be arraigned March 8, the U.S. attorney's office in Detroit said.
At the time of his arrest, Mihsen told agents that he was going to Syria in hopes of claiming the reward -- offered by the U.S. government -- for information leading to bin Laden's arrest and conviction, according to a federal criminal complaint.
Mihsen said he was a registered private investigator and wanted to conduct an independent probe into the illegal sale of uranium by extremists, authorities said.
According to the indictment, Mihsen, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Syria, left Dallas on Feb. 15 for Damascus.
Mihsen changed planes at Detroit Metropolitan Airport, but an outbound search of his checked luggage revealed that he was attempting to take a number of items with him to Syria including a Taser, ammunition, pepper spray, a bulletproof vest and three Geiger counters.
Mihsen told federal agents he planned to use the items as bait to lure possible uranium smugglers, authorities said.
He also denied carrying a large amount of cash before agents found he had $13,256 on him and in his luggage, the indictment says.
A message was left Wednesday for Mihsen's lawyer in the federal public defender's office.
Mihsen was indicted on charges of making false statements to federal investigators, trying to smuggle bulk cash out of the United States and attempting to export money and goods to Syria without a permit or authorization. The third charge, the most serious, carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

That's right! Fish/free range chicken will be added later.Aside from quality protein, the principal purpose of eating fish is to access the omega 3 fatty acids. You really can't eat enough fish to do the job. Look for "molecularly distilled" fish oil with a high DHA/EPA content. The distillation process removes PCBs, dioxins, mercury and other toxins stored in the fat of cold water fish.
I found a great buy at Sam's Club. EAS AdvantEdge Whey Protein. 90 servings of 22 grams of protein per scoop. All for $20. Available in vanilla or chocolate flavor. It's a great way to add protein to your fruit/veggie regimen.
