If that is true, it is disturbing,

but you can guess how mistaking a single vital bit of info could turn the story into a rumor pretty quickly. I am

going to take a wild guess that the phone calls and the visit were actually all from Customs Enforcement and the

Homeland Secuirty part of the story is Sci Fi. The business owner was obviously upset at having gun-toting goons

at her shop, just like I would be, and started raving to the newspapers about "terrorists (blah blah blah) and

don't they have anything better to do with their time (blah blah blah) ? etc etc"
