I doubt this story is real... (5, at least, this has been going on) * (52 weeks) * (100 a week) = 26,000 homes would have been entered, averaging 3 people per home (on the low side) = ~78,000 people have had this happen to them and I haven't heard about it? Not to mention, I would say no to any plain clothes government official without presenting a warrant and badges. There are plenty of other issues with the blog post, but those two alone are enough for me to call B.S.

Maybe you would but most people wouldn't. It takes guts to say no to six armed men with government documents, even if the law is technically on your side. They are very cordial and nice, they just want to ask a couple of questions, and they have the gigantic power of US government standing behind their backs. And you are in your pajamas and slippers and would you dare to say no to them, whatever the consequences would be? If you doubt what most people would choose, look how many people are completely OK with what TSA is doing. And that's your ass, literally, being inspected, not your kitchen.
