Newspaper accuses feds of unlawful search and seizure
The Washington Times and one of its former journalists have sued the Department of Homeland Security, accusing federal agents of illegally seizing the newspapers reporting materials during the execution of a search warrant in an unrelated case.
In a motion filed in federal court in Greenbelt, Md., The Times and reporter Audrey Hudson asked a judge to force the federal agency to return all reporting files and documents it seized from Ms. Hudsons home office during a raid in early August.

The newspaper alleged federal agents accompanying Maryland State Police on the raid took materials from Ms. Hudsons office that were not covered by the search warrant that authorized the collection solely of evidence about guns and a potato launcher allegedly possessed by her husband, Paul Flanagan.
The seized materials included documents the newspaper had obtained under the Freedom of Information Act as well as notes and memos that identified confidential sources from a series of investigative stories that exposed problems inside Homeland's Air Marshal Service.

Fingers crossed that they come along and correct/ elaborate on it as my knowledge is spotty and incomplete on the subject.

Thanks for the ping. I'm following this closely. I have a feeling that many of the "modern" conspiracy issues are worse than we want to know.

A potato launcher? If these fascists were not so serious about their attack on our freedom, I would be laughing about that part.

It’s the Washington Times, which is the anti-New York Times.
