The Secret Service went to his house??? Great, just great.
Yeah, I'd like to know at whose direction they did that? Did that cop make the call to the SS to begin with? Did he return to headquarters with the sign, and then call in the threat to the SS himself?
I didn't see anything in the article that claimed the SS had received a complaint from anyone, and then told the cops to stop the guy and investigate. The police department did call after the incident to tell them the sign wasn't a threat, so why did they end up on his doorstep afterall? Either they don't trust the local cops to do the job right, or the police department is lying or leaving out info on how this actually went down.
A 10-min walkthru is mostly a visual walkthrough to see if you have a swastika flag tacked to your living room wall -- or worse yet, an American flag tacked to it. Or a literature table with subversive pamphlets on it. Or worse yet, copies of the Bill of Rights and mini-constitutions to give away.
Or a stack of chairs for political meetings, or worse yet, for bible studies. Or an AK47 over the fireplace mantle. You know, the usual Waco paraphenalial like 50-calibers stacked in the corner and boxes of hand grenadese and God forbid, ash trays.
