Saw this on slashdot:

In a case that may test limits on Internet free speech in the wake of Sept. 11, armed federal agents last week raided the home of a Los Angeles teenager suspected of hacking into several Web sites to post anarchist messages and using his own site, Raisethefist.com, to publish bomb-making information.

The kid is complaining that the FBI agents were TOO well armed.  "They had machine guns, shot guns, and hand guns."  While some here may have visions of Waco, I have to say that when it comes to apprehending someone you are going to charge with terrorism... you had better take him seriously.  Whether the kid is a terrorist or not is apparently a matter for the courts to decide.
