DES MOINES, Iowa—President Barack
Obama is planning an outdoor rally here on Monday, but one store within
the event's security zone is taking a stand against Secret Service
searches inside the shop.
A sign on the window of Raygun, a
clothing store that sells quirky T-shirts, tells Secret Service agents
who intend to "sweep" the premises before Obama's speech that it does
"not consent" to any searches. The sign also added a little humor, too:
"It's not that there's anything illegal in here, we just employ several
Colombian prostitutes and don't want to tempt you guys," the sign reads,
a reference to news reports earlier this year about some agents who had
solicited prostitutes in South America.
The Obama campaign was not
amused. A store clerk told Yahoo News that the sign went up Monday
morning, and Obama staffers have asked for its removal. The store is
refusing. (Continues)
