The guy was apparently arrested because they thought that sequential 2 dollar bills was either a sign of counterfieting, or, somehow terrorism. The brain dead local cop alluded to high tensions in this post 9/11 world we live in. Goddamn lunatics.

Anyway, at this point everyone should already know what a massive piece of shit Best Buy is. I know a number of people who've gotten crappy service there and on top of that, their commission structure outright guarantees that some pimply kid is gonna try to sell you a TV or digital camera about 4 seconds after you walk thru the door. -k]
