Then arrest, charge and try him. Using customs/TSA/etc as an extra-judicial punishment is the scariest thing.
Whats next the local fire service sent out to do safety checks on anyone that opposes the government? I think the last two administrations already got caught ordering tax audits of groups that opposed them.
- tptacek 16y agoTSA abused their power, but TSA is an inherently abusive agency. Customs did not abuse their power. What happened to Moxie is exactly what Customs does (badly). You can end up tussling with Customs for any of a zillion other reasons, too. It's not harassment. Words mean things. Also, you seem to be under the misapprehension that the only options criminal investigators have is "arrest" (or even "subpoena" or "get a warrant"). That's simply not true.
