- chc 13y agoeurleif asked much the same question and got some good answers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5697545 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5697545 Basically, the two things are not very much alike, because the DEA isn't supposed to be able to initiate a full-scale investigation without a warrant, while the IRS has a bit more discretion in whom it scrutinizes.
