LE apparently winning.
Code red for all MD counties now.
DC, Tysons, Dulles remain [but with associated driving hassles etc.]
No wonder there are many posts for Richmond, Va Beach.

And no paranoia was implied by OP.

That people who got screened got in trouble resulting in a massive hobby crackdown in Maryland. Ladies and men got flipped and spilled the guts to the investigators.

People got calls at work, at home, on their cell phones, etc.

Bottom line to remember is to get a lawyer and take the 5th. People who did that have stayed out of trouble for the most part.

Really ?

It could be just us and a few others but haven't noticed. However what you've said is only an absolute to an absolute thinker. There are other factors as well, such as how one does business.  Granted if you're dealing with those who are too easily accessible, providers associated with or known for doing drugs or recruiting minors then I'd be worried to.  Of course let's not forget those who are grossly indiscreet in how they carry themselves in a location and broadcast "hi I'm a professional hoochi momma".

I acknowledge this point as   Kurt Cobain said “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you”.

But please, a little prudent balance here. Let's not forget how one engages the world and one's personal belief system does have a major affect on the results you create.

"It's all about integrity.."

be vigilant and screen and you will be fine
