Inside the mind of a raging liberal

As some of you know, I traveled to Cuba last May in an act of civil disobedience along with two other Americans. On our return through the Bahamas, we admitted we had traveled to Cuba rather than lie to a federal officer.

Homeland Security then detained us, searched our bags, lectured us on the illegalities of traveling to Cuba without a special license and forced us to fill out a form before allowing us to board our plane back to Miami.

They said they were going to fine us, but our group had a lawyer in California who was ready to defend us. I didn't hear anything from the Feds until today, when I received the following warning letter in the mail.

I wonder if this means I'm now on the "no-fly list".




EDIT: Here is the thread I posted back in May about my trip, which includes a long photo slideshow, and a description of my incident with the Feds in the Bahamas.
