Feds Raid Flea Market

Yep, that's what Instapundit is reporting, via a link to the Baltimore Sun
Vendors at the Patapsco Flea Market have a history of allegedly selling counterfeit and pirated merchandise, according to an affidavit, which outlined the latest accusation that resulted in a raid Sunday by federal Homeland Security Investigations special agents.

Capping a 2 1/2-year-long investigation into counterfeit apparel and accessories as well as pirated DVDs and musical recordings, federal investigators confiscated numerous items being sold there.
Insty closes with a worthy observation, one I've been pushing for awhile.  If Homeland Security is concerned with counterfeit merchandise, we don't have a terrorist problem.
Abolish the Department of Homeland Security. If they’ve got time for this crap, we don’t have a terrorist problem anymore.
Amen, brother.  Homeland Security is long overdue for a wing-clipping.

It does no good to round up a few flea market sellers. They need to stop it at the border when the stuff is in containers. Oh yeah, they don't have enough agents to do that.
