[SSN558]

say round up all white males between 30 and 40, accuse them of an unusual interest in aviation

I had a guy in my project group at school that was an aviation buff about 15 years ago. He liked to park off the West end of Mather AFB and take pictures of B52's. One night without warning the FBI raided his parents home. They took his computer, the carburator for his ford pinto, the family TV, his camara and pictures, and our class project. Another dangerous white male put out of action. We used to refer to him as comrade, after that.

the carburator for his ford pinto,

Huh???

[Grampa Dave]

Pintos had carbs?

[Husker24]

Why the hell would they want his carburater?

[mdittmar]

the carburator for his ford pinto

That had to hurt,they could have at least taken the whole car.

[LouD]

Those Pintos were rolling bombs - Maybe they wouldn't blow up without the carb?

[MississippiMan]

I can understand most of what they did, but taking that Pinto carburetor crossed a line, by golly! LOL.

Sounds more like thieves posing as FBI agents.

"Uh yeah....we need this carbeurator as evidence....."

[SuperLuminal]

"...the carburator for his ford pinto..."

Well, certainly there wouldn't have been any resultant change in the Pinto's operating performance.

" the carburator for his ford pinto."

Desperate times indeed.
