This was my first thought as well. I wouldn’t trust my furniture or really anything either, though. Shit could be as small as a crumb with tech these days
I’m reminded of that X-Files episode where Mulder tears his entire apartment to shreds and finds one tiny bug inside his electrical outlet by the window.
We really have no idea just how camouflaged or small these things can be nowadays.
The really fun ones are when they don’t have any physical bug at all, like laser microphones, or using microwave imaging (EM, not the appliance) to watch people through the wall. There are x-ray systems entirely contained in the back of a box truck, too.
Yeah this has to be part of it. A raid like this isn’t just a raid, it also signals that any protection of her by the law from others has been withdrawn. So any asshole with a gun could (and according to the stale Cheeto should) cause her problems. Being effectively doxxed by the government isn’t a great position from an opsec standpoint.
Not sure what that’s going to gain her… Though I believe having a bunch of FBI Peckerwoods roaming through her home is very violating…
Living in a home that isn’t bugged.

Don’t even need that, your wifi router can show them who is in the house
Very good point… But they’ll just raid that one too…
It’ll get her an address fewer people know.
