From Playboy:
Boise, Idaho–A Homeland Security officer arrived on February 7 at the federal Natural Resource Center and demanded that Dwight Scarbrough remove antiwar signs from his truck or move it off the federal lot. Scarbrough, who served five years in the Navy, is a scientist at the center. He also works with Veterans for Peace, participates in protests and likes to display his opinions on his pickup. Last year, after complaints at work about a BUSHIT sticker, he and his boss reviewed the relevant statutes and found his expression was perfectly legal, so Scarbrough was disturbed by the recent visit. “my rights are very dear to me,” he says. “I served my country to defend them. And one of the things I was defending is free speech. It’s the First Amendment for a reason — not the last, not the middle. The first.”
