imschur Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 Federal law enforcement agents, led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, descended on Nashville's Sabre Defence Industries this morning and closed down the facility for at least the day....Law enforcement officials were seen escorting employees one by one of the company out of their 35,000-square-foot facility on Allied Drive. Each employee was searched next to their personal vehicle, had their vehicle searched and, when cleared, were allowed to leave the premises. No individuals were witnessed being arrested.

Longitude Zero Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Sounds like a lack of adequate internal control. Best of luck to them.
