Forget taking the crown. Undercover Homeland Security agents were focused on taking the panties, The Kansas City Star reports.

Peregrine Honig, CEO of Birdies intimate apparel, received a surprise visit from the agents who said she was violating copyright laws with her "Take the Crown" underwear.

Although the design was hand-drawn, Homeland Security told Honig it violated Mayor League Baseball's copyright since the K and the C were connected.

The agents confiscated the underwear, and Honig signed a statement that she wouldn't use the logo again.
