No, Secret Service, you cannot search here
« on: November 06, 2012, 03:50:19 PM »
Des Moines t-shirt shop tells Secret Service why they will not consent to having the store searched before an Obama rally yesterday (11/5/12).  They claim a valid reason.

6:45 PM update states the sign was eventually taken down - but does not say when.

stay safe.

Wow.  Now that's a funny sign.  I may have to find them online and buy a shirt, just because they gave me a good laugh.  :rofl:

That sign earned a good laugh from me. Pity they took it down though.

Shame they didn't stand their ground.  I'd refuse to consent to search, too.  Regardless of the candidate. 
Of course, knowing this administration, the shop owners should expect an IRS audit post haste.

And perhaps also a "CI tip" that there was a meth lab in the back, necessitating a dynamic entry through the front with an MRAP.  =|

And unless they DO have Columbian prostitutes working there . . . felony charges of lying to Federal law enforcement. (The note was addressed to the Secret Service, after all.)

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

It's the "no coast" part of the country, otherwise known as the fly-over zone.  Be sure to wave on your next pass.
