The Thomases ran an adult BBS and video business in California. The
fedz busted them by the following moves:
1. Fed stooge posts Thomases some kiddie porn video tapes
2. Fedz kick down the door 30 seconds later before Thomases even knew
they'd received any mail
3. Fedz tried Thomases in some other state with strong puritanical
tendencies
4. Fedz locked up Thomases and threw away the key.
Most people who hear the story immediately wonder why the child porn
peddling Fed stooge wasn't locked up rather than the entirely innocent
Thomases.
For details there is a good write up in Phrack.
