Moral of the story: Flash drives for her written notes hidden in secret compartments and a waterproof container for paper files to be buried in the dead of night in a flower garden.
I also think that any questions regarding whether the police and/or military would fire on US citizens is now moot; of course they will. They just violated this woman's 4th Amendment rights on a whim and won't discuss it. If her sources suddenly end up unemployed (at best) or permanently unavailable (at worst), you'll know she was onto something. If they arrest her, I see a huge lawsuit that ends up in SCOTUS, not that that helps her any, but at least she will have publicity. It amazes me how the rest of the Praetorian Guard media are burying such illegal government activity against reporters. You'd think they'd be worried, too, but I guess you (and I) would think wrong.
