DHS, who houses TSA, got a federal search warrant in the middle of the night to forcibly have me "internally examined" at a hospital, during which I was confined/detained for 16 hours cuffed and shackled and strip searched, made to perform bodily functions in front of officers etc. After a dog supposedly "alerted" (but actually did not, and the agent even lamented to me that the dog did not). They may not get a conviction but a warrant or arrest will turn your life upside down for at least a few days. And they can get that based on basically nothing (I read the affadavit of my warrant and the claim was 3rd degree anonymous hearsay that didn't list the officer or the dogs name). I am still in debt to this day as debt collectors are chasing me after DHS billed me for their search made on the kind of shoddy "evidence" they obtain from any electronic and other device they have. Every tool they obtain just makes it worse.

Are you saying the federal government billed you for the cost of their investigating you?

  Yes. My story is very similar to this Ashley Cervantes who was also taken to Holy Cross Hospital and billed for a search [0, 1], except in my case they got a warrant which was signed by the judge AFTER (MOST OF) THE SEARCH. Like Ashley, nothing was found and I was billed afterwards. Ashley's case was even more shocking as she was forcibly and intimately penetrated by the doctor "in search of contraband" at the direction of DHS. In my case DHS promised me they would bill it in their name, but they either lied or used the billing as a retaliatory tactic when I convinced (some) of the doctors to discharge me as the doctors had no medical basis on which to search me without consent. The bill itself was written by the private medical entities performing the search at direction of DHS.
