Police and agents from the FBI and Homeland Security descended on the Mecca Café and Bar on Lower Queen Anne Hill Friday afternoon in search of a potential terrorist, according to numerous sources and the FBI.

<...>

"They said somebody overheard me saying subversive things on my cellphone," said the man, who added that he couldn't remember saying anything to prompt such a response.

General consensus at a bar named after a Muslim holy city is that the man probably said something about "getting bombed at the Mecca," and the man conceded he could have said that.

<...>

The man went on to say he thinks a militant vegetarian going to the "hippie Folklife Festival" turned him into the feds. That's because he was wearing a PETA T-shirt, but the not the one for the group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
