I saw an blurb this week on TV somewhere about a new book out called "One Nation Under Arrest" -- They were interviewing a guy, George Norris, who did 18 months in Federal prison for selling Orchids (and not the wrong ones either). http://economist.com/node/16636027
And, the other one was a fuel cell researcher, Krister Evertson, who was indicted on federal charges for selling a pound of sodium on Ebay without the proper "ground shipement" paperwork, he was acquitted, but the government came back and figured out a way to nab him with the EPA.
