Agents from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Law Enforcement informed him they were confis­cating his fish — all 881 pounds of it.

You know things are really getting bad with government when you read stories about the department of education and the IRS being issued 12ga shotguns...but when the weather service has police powers too, well that just takes the freaking cake!
