"Tank" and his paratroopers linked up with a squad of Iraqi National Police. The Iraqis took the lead going into homes, and we followed. People were quite willing for us to look around and film. Sometimes there's just one family in each dwelling, and sometimes the buildings can be pretty crowded. Inside the main living area there's usually religious pictures on the wall.
The Iraqis were searching for illegal weapons. Each household is allowed one AK47-type rifle and one magazine of ammunition for personal protection. In total, today, we found just two illegal weapons. "Tank" told me you'd be lucky to shoot pigeons with them. The Iraqi police inspected the guns, and presumably drew the same conclusions as "Tank" because the weapons were handed back to the owners.
