Remember those ME types who were involved in a traffic altercation some time back and offered the American huge amounts of cash NOT to call police? He called the sheriff who proceeded to let them go as I remember. I can't remember if the incident itself was pre-9/11.

Fred, I think we discussed whether or not the MEs were panicked just because they were illegal or whether they were carrying contraband--whether of a terrorist nature or "just" something like a cigarette scam...

In any event we were pretty PO'd that the sheriff let them go and were speculating about whether he was getting a pay-off on a scam. Maybe they were being stung, though only on the cigarette scam at the time.

VC, I'm very glad to read your comment #2 and know that somebody's looking after matters--at least in Atlanta.

I'm thinking that was a stop around Russellville near L.R. about the time a lot of worry was going on about Nuke Plants.

Thinden or Fred might recall.
