"On Friday, Dumit said, officers also raided four strip clubs in Kansas City. Officers went into the clubs posing as customers and watched for violations, such as dancers allowing money to be put in unauthorized areas of their outfits. About 40 dancers were arrested and charged."

That's "Homeland Security" alright!

and some think we're being "paranoid" and over-reacting!

btw, has anyone considered that *I* may be LE myself!???

i mean, look how readily i blended in since i joined few months ago. seriously!  think about it. singleton, a COP!  why not? apparently i go around bossing folks left and right like i own the place, anyway, right?

take my word for it:  TRUST NO ONE!  >

treat me with the same (relative) skepticism you would others. sure i've posted a handful or reviews, but so could've LE. btw, does anyone know if it's legal for them to COERCE a real hobbyist into aiding them in setting up a sting?  just curious. you know, like informants with the DEA, that kind of thing?

Assuming that no reviews existed, this type of sting op could be avoided if (as has been mentioned numerous times before) we hobbyists make sure the ladies we schedule with have been reviewed.  Also I have a question for the providers - would providers be willing to verify unseen providers for us if we asked?  I consider a referral or verification from a provider I have seen even more reliable than a review.
