Default Homeland security ?

Yesterday I took a package containing 1 crankbait to mail outside the US and wound up filling out forms, explaining what the package contained, where it was going to , why I was sending it ?

Jeepers Cats, Whats coming next ? I carefully looked each form over thorougly making sure I wasn't giving consent to a cavity search, or something like that before I signed them.I wasn't sure I could take the lady at the window, but I know I could have outran her, if I needed to. P N J

Don't know if you saw it on the BASS Potomac Top 150 show but we lost a section of the Potomac River this summer to "Security". Just off of Quantico Marine base where they land the Presidential helicopters. Base security drives up and tells you to leave on a megaphone. Rediculous. The area has been open for close to 6 years now, since 9/11 and they just realized that it needed to made off limits?????

3dkicker, know what you mean. We just got an area back that has been closed since 9/11. It's just off the beach of Cape Canaveral AFS.

I got kicked off the same area, by the same security guard, on the same Sunday they taped the show. I think the main problem they had was with the camera on the pro's boat. Strange that it took them 6 years to make the decision. And there aren't any signs posting that it was off-limits just some guy on a megaphone on the bank.
One of my friends is a Major in the Corp and he can't explain it or get an explanation. He thinks it will only get worse and they may even make the creeks off limits, Chopawamsic and Quantico, as well. And there isn't anything we can do about it.
