"This Just In --- Internet to be rooted thru central FBR servers. Death of the 4th Amendment predicted. Movie at 11." We have always been at war with Iraniraqistan. -- "Four Arab-looking guys reading the Koran are much less suspicious if they have the cards and can just slash them through card readers." ~ Alan 'Ausweis Macht Frei' Dershowitz For the irony impaired there now follows a FICTIONAL! (repeat FICTIONAL!) example of exactly the sort of thing that will NOT be grounds for a no-knock warrant.

Freind,

Compliments of the season. Grace and peace and love from Almighty God to you. I hope my letter does not cause you too much embarrassment as I write to you in good faith, based on the contact address given to me by a friend who works at the Pakistani embassy in your country. Please excuse my intrusion into your private life.

I have fallen on some hard times. Vindictive government officials who are bent on dealing with my family have made it necessary that I seek your assistance on their behalf. The Swiss government has already frozen all the accounts of my family in Switzerland, and some other countries would soon follow to do the same. I no longer have freedom of movement in my own country.

My tent blew away and the gr8 s8n gave my camel a severe case of hemorrhoids. What with the winter coming next week, can I stay at your place for a while? ];-p

yours
