Remember the Texas men, arrested in Mich. for buying Trakfones from
WalMart?  The one where the Assistant US Attorney Janet Parker said
"They're middle men...integral cogs in a conspiracy."

While the cluelessness of Wal-Mart employees is shocking, the cops'
behavior is even worse.  Anyone who has spent any time in an urban area
in the US knows that a very common business model for small inner-city
stores is to simply use Wal-Mart as a wholesaler, reselling to local
residents many of whom can't get to Wal-Mart for lack of transportation.
I can't believe the police don't know this.
