You're about an hour late, Rand.  :)  I just posted a link to an article
about this a little while ago.  I found one of the quotes pretty funny
though.  The guy organizing all of this is ex-military, and states that the
threat isn't being taken very seriously because due to the fact that over
half of the volunteers are combat veterans.  This should be interesting.

Subject: [Az-Geocaching] Caution Tucson, border cachers


I don't know if there are any caches along the Arizona/Mexico border, but if
so, geocachers need to be aware of possible problems.  The 1000+ volunteers
of the MINUTEMAN PROJECT will be conducting patrols along part of the border
for the month of April.  A violent Central America-based gang (Mara
Salvatrucha, or MS-13) has issued orders to teach "a lesson" to the
Minuteman volunteers.  There could be some problems for anyone in the area,
and should be aware.
