but i cannot find any other mention of this "bust" on the web that was "announced by the Justice Department".
why isnt that looked at as strange or questionable?
its pretty odd that no websites "that are being bounced to the DEA webpage" are mentioned as quoted in the article.
even a little strange that search strings like
"Operation Pipe Dreams"
"Operation Headhunter"
and any quotes mentioned on the page do not show up in search engines.

I especially like this quote:
"Reached Monday, Zahrieh's wife, who declined to give her name, said only that her husband sold items for tobacco use.
In Forestville, Sonoma County, agents arrested John Matthew Patrick, 38, who owns California Colorchangers, Inc. Its Web site,
www.colorchangingglass. com, features an array of pipes and bongs. Its cover page states, "I agree to use the products offered herein for legal purposes only."

Sounds like the disclaimer for any free adult web site. So, if the bust stands, because as we discussed before, "INTENT" is what make paraphenlia something other than just a hunk of glass or a tobacco pipe, and the web operators made sure to state that if you are buying this stuff you must have legal "INTENT", then that does not bode well for the obcenity prosecutions when/if they start....
