Owner of Area 51 website has Nevada home searched, seized by federal agents

Here is the KLAS report on the raid on Joerg Arnu's homes. (See my post below.) Not much information here; Arnu doesn't know why his homes were searched, or why his devices were taken.

FBI and Airforce in full riot gear raid home of Area 51 YouTube | Boing Boing: On November 3, armed agents of the Air Force Office of Special Investigations and FBI raided the home of a Las Vegas man who makes a podcast about the Nevada military base known as Area 51.

Joerg Arnu, who has a podcast concerning Area 51, was dragged out of his home by Airforce and FBI agents. His girlfriend, in their Las Vegas home at the time, was also  dragged out. Arnu's homes were searched, all his equipment confiscated. Why now -- Arnu had been running his podcasts and videos since 1999. Who, or what, caused this search?

On Twitter, George Knapp tweeted on the 14th that he was "gathering info for the story" which will be aired on KLAS Tuesday night, the 15th. It's now the 17th but I assume one could still access the story. I'm sure there is more to come on this from Knapp.
