Homeland Security's Panty Raid

Premium Link Upgrade

When two burly men walked into a Missouri women's underwear store Tuesday, the owners didn't think much of it -- until the pair flashed their Homeland Security badges and confiscated several dozen panties bearing the initials "KC" in honor of the Kansas City Royals.

Danielle Meister, co-owner of Birdies Panties shop, said the undercover agents seized the lingerie, claiming the store ******** copyright laws by selling underwear with "Take the Crown" and "KC" printed across the rear. Meister and her business partner, Peregrine Honig, said they wanted to celebrate the success of their hometown team -- which on Wednesday night beat the San Francisco Giants to tie the World Series at one game apiece -- by designing the panties.

Major League Baseball spokesman Matt Bourne said *********** merchandise is a serious problem.

"We support [Homeland Security's] efforts to protect fans from purchasing *********** tickets and merchandise while protecting legitimate businesses that are authorized to conduct those activities," Bourne said.
