ever heard of tea bags meaning anything? I checked snopes.com....nothing.

I doubt this is the reason, but, I found this interesting tidbit when I did a search for terrorists + teabag on google:

.."more than 100 residents of District 13 waved tea bags to symbolize their lack of a voice in their own
government,in a reference to the 1773 "Boston Tea Party" revolt by American colonists..."

**"symbolize their lack of a voice in their own government"
