RUTHERFORD ON FDA BORDER SEARCH OF SENIORS

More from the folks at Rutherford. Read Federal Agents Strong-arm Elderly Citizens Seeking Affordable Drugs, a discussion of this piece in the AARP bulletin. Here's a snippet from the AARP:

That same day, when we came back across the border to Pembina, N.D., our group leader went back into customs. Then she came back and said, "The FDA is going to board the bus."

The FDA agents came on the bus like Gestapo agents. They were in black uniforms, similar to police uniforms, that said "FDA" on them. They were very somber, you know, very stern and straight-faced, and they said they wanted to see what we had. They started at the back of the bus and looked at everybody's purchases. They actually went into our bags, physically looked at the bottles, looked at you, and then moved on to the next person, working their way up to the front.

If you're tempted to evoke "Godwin's law" here, read the story to your grandparents (or closest senior citizen neighbor) and then get back to me.
