Vendors at the Patapsco Flea Market have a history of allegedly selling counterfeit and pirated merchandise, according to an affidavit, which outlined the latest accusation that resulted in a raid Sunday by federal Homeland Security Investigations special agents.

Capping a 2 1/2-year-long investigation into counterfeit apparel and accessories as well as pirated DVDs and musical recordings, federal investigators confiscated numerous items being sold there.

Federal authorities released few details about the raid, but the affidavit details several undercover operations that found that many of the items sold at the flea market were fake. They included goods with high-end brand names such as Nike, Uggs, Polo, North Face, Louis Vuitton and Gucci.

Protecting us from the evil terrorist vendors is vital to national security. Someone could have seriously been ripped off. Explains why they needed 450 million 40 cal rounds. The evil vendors must pay!

Some of you other guys should start asking these wankers if they know who did 9-11 and who set off the mininukes in reactors 1-4 at Fukushima. Reactor 4 'blew up' and reactor 4 was outside the containment being repaired and not where the explosion centered. The USGS and Japanese earthquake monitoring systems could only find a 6.76 epicenter 60 miles inland. The Japanese government came upwith the 9.0 and 9.1 figure to justify trhe huge tsunami which caught everyone aware. No pre-tsunami damage is apparent at Fukushima beyond a short strip of cracked and displaced street. Bicycles did not even fall over. Check it out.
