More Fed GPS tracking joy! Man finds TWO trackers on his SUV.

He bought it from the brother of his girlfriend, said brother later fled to Mexico and may be involved in the drug trade. The guy lives with the parents of his girlfriend. He thinks the Feds may think that since they guy he bought the SUV from might be a drug dealer, that he might be. Classic guilt by association.

The story gets flat-out weird and a little scary when Wired shows up to photograph the devices and three marked police cars show up. Someone's phone apparently was also tapped.

I'm guessing that if asked to show the warrants for such surveillance, some mumbling about "national security" would commence.
