If the fedgubmint knew anything about Gibson they wouldn't have even said anything to them, unless they actually want them to move all of their production overseas (which could be, although I don't know why). Gibson's Epiphone line has been foreign made for decades (with a few exceptions). I know, I play them.

An article entitled " Police “loseâ€￾ cooler full of live C-4 at crowded airport."

Bizarre “training exerciseâ€￾ sparks anger and conspiracy theories online.

Phoenix police apparently carried live explosives into the crowded Phoenix airport and then lost them. It is now being claimed that a “theifâ€￾ stole the cooler of explosives and then dumped the cooler on the side of the road.

Law enforcement does not normally use real explosives from training exercises.

The really weird thing about this is that Gibson does not buy the wood for its fret boards out side the US. IT buys the wood from an importer located in California as does Martin, as does Taylor and as does Fender. So why did the gub'ment goons not raid the import company or not raid every guitar manufacturer in the US? Who has Gibson irritated that wield power within the current administration?

An Article entitled "US Government uses military to help Afghan opium trade."

The Taliban declared war on opium in 2000 and almost completely wiped it out in Afghanistan. In 2002, Afghanistan saw a 600%+ surge in the cultivation of opium. Now the US government admits to using American soldiers to aid in the cultivation and sale of opium. US soldiers are used to deliver farmer supplies to opium growers, protect their fields, and assist farmers in getting their cultivated product to the market place. This had led to a global surge in Heroine, and other opium products.
