It's a Fair Cop

Mark Steyn notes that one sign of our federal government's bloat is that s simple raid on a piano importer (if one can assume the raid was justified) was carried out by two dozen agents:

Two dozen federal agents? To raid a piano importer? Does the piano industry have a particular reputation for violent armed resistance? Or is it that the most footling bureaucrat now feels he has no credibility unless he’s got his own elite commando team?

Obviously, 24 was the proper number. There are ways to tell if piano importers are dangerous.

Piano importers know violin importers. Violin importers also import violin cases. Violin cases were once used by Mafia hitmen to carry their Tommy guns to the site of the hit. Therefore, logically, she's a witch! the federal government needs to go in with a small platoon of agents to smother any potential armed piano resistance. Burn 'em!

Or perhaps the government built a bridge out of them. They are wise in the ways of science, after all.

Our federal government is just too damn big.
