Anonymous' Barrett Brown Raided By FBI During Online Chat 208
A reader sends this excerpt from Wired:
"For the second time this year, self-proclaimed Anonymous spokesman Barrett Brown was raided by the FBI. The latest dramatic incident occurred late Wednesday evening while Brown and another woman identified by some as his girlfriend were participating in an online chat on TinyChat with other individuals. Two minutes into the recorded chat session, loud voices could be heard in the background of Brown's residence in Texas while the woman in the room with him was in front of the computer screen. She quickly closed the computer screen, but the audio continued to capture events in the room as the FBI appeared to strong-arm Brown to put handcuffs on him. Brown could be heard yelling in the background. A spokeswoman in the Dallas County sheriff's office confirmed to Wired that Brown was raided last night and was booked into the county jail around 11 p.m."

Generally, a spokesperson for a group of interest would be approached calmly, not raided (which makes it news).
The spokespeople of multinational crime syndicates tend not to be well-regarded by law enforcement. I know, it's confusing.

-- I got my nickname tsa long before the TSA existed so please refrain from making remarks about the TSA.
OT, but
I suppose you would describe the TSA as a bunch of no-talent ass clowns?
