From the top to the bottom. 2 suits could have served the search warrant to him at work, and then requested entry and then forced entry if voluntary entry wasn't granted. A cell phone call to the agents standing by at the house would have sufficed. The subject of search warrants don't have to be present for them to be executed. Not all search warrants require tactical entry pre-dawn. But, if they did it that way there was going to be a very slim chance they would be able to kill him with impunity, so to hell with that. When given an opportunity to do things with or without violence and a golden opportunity to execute a United States citizen the ATF chooses violence way too often. Look no further than Waco. Whether or not this guy was guilty of anything or not isn't the point, but he sure as hell didn't receive due process. Is the new standard for some here; if you're suspected of committing a "in the business" crime you deserve to be executed by federal agents without benefit of a trial? I can't think of more than about 5 amendments to the US Constitution that prohibit the government from such egregious behavior.</blockquote>
