Default homeland security came out with a subpoena to search the 32 manta i just bought, wtf

holy #@&*$% ! i just got an email from the seller who works for nasa, that a pair of guys from homeland security driving a towncar, went to the marina and searched the 32 manta i just bought from him through an ebay listing. i wired him the coin from my bank in colombia... wtf the closest i ever came to belonging to a terrorist group was hanging with stecz and the retards from team short bus one week at loto. lol im wondering if it is because he works for nasa and they think he was sending me secret plans to the space ship they are sending to mars.... i have never had any contact with the long arm of the law other than traffic tickets... or maybe im on a watch list cuz im constantly posting derogatory posts about the kenyan in D.C..... any idea why these guys are checking out my boat?? rm

Just be glad they didn't drill holes looking for hidden compartments. They can pretty much do whatever they want. If they just looked and didn't trash your boat then I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

big brother knows all....

I do a lot of government work, and one of the guys I work with was questioned as to why he was interested in the purchase of a nuclear submarine... no BS, I was there when all this went down...

I got to hear the story... in college back in the 90's, the soviet union was collapsing and apparently, they were selling off military equipment. They actually had an auction for this stuff... him and his 3 other roommates were drunk and thought it would be awesome so they put a bid in on the sub... naturally they didn't win it or I'd probably be posting on the 20,000 leagues under the sea site instead of offshore only... but they had the simple thought of 'holy hell this would be so awesome if we had our own nuclear sub'

He never went back to that site again after they were outbid, and in the year and a half i was working with him prior to this he never mentioned it, until I had to take him with me to an imaginary place to work one day.

It's also why I have absolutely no social media accounts, these message boards are the closest I get

Actually, from what I read and based on some of the busts around here (Gulf Coast Texas) they are always looking to move cash and weapons back to where the drugs come from.
