> Because they know their customers. "Elderly amateur archeologist has collection seized by FBI for doing basically what professional state sanctioned archeologists do but without state permissions" would go over like a lead balloon pretty much anywhere that isn't fairly affluent and left leaning. This story is so weird and so strange that it would have got quite a bit of attention here. Even though Indiana is a red state, there would be plenty of people that would read about an old guy that could be your neighbor that has an authentic terracotta warrior statue in his living room. So much more interesting than, say busting a ring of paddlefish poachers (which was actually front page news), or our legislature outlawing sex with chickens (actually happened).
