On The Case

To The Editors:

 

Regarding "Feds seize phony tickets, merchandise" (Thursday, Page C2), like many other concerned citizens, I was relieved to find out that a crack team of armed agents from the department of Homeland Security raided an underwear store in Kansas City that had been selling panties with "KC" and "Take The Crown" stenciled on the backside.

 

I'll admit to some confusion as to how this matter came to the Feds' attention, much less why they thought women's panties were a threat to the nation's security.  The important thing is that we have protected the rights of a government sponsored monopoly - Major League Baseball - to profit from promotional panties using terms and phrases that had heretofore been part of the public domain. 

 

The Republic is secure.
