SWEETWATER -- A sign hanging on the office door of the Sweetwater Flea Market warns, “Terrorists must sign in.”
It's a joking jab at a national database released last week which includes the flea market as a possible terrorist target.
Shirts which poke fun at the “world famous” flea market's place on the terror list also went on sale this past weekend for $6.
The flea market owners say they are trying to take advantage of the media-blitz surrounding the highly-scrutinized terrorist list.
“We're now a household name,” said Trey Boggs, who owns the flea market with his brother, Bryan.
Media attention on the national terror database began Wednesday when the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security released a scathing report saying several “unusual or out-of-place” sites on the terror lists “taints the credibility of the data.”

Just as long as they keep protecting this flea market 10 miles east of me, instead of the nuclear plant 8 miles west of me, I'll sleep better at night...
