[quote author=mikeeey link=1219120905/40#52 date=1219208149]so we may have to create a new section of the forum for DX orders, similar to a group buy. The lasers are sent to someone in Canada, then sent off to someone in the US. Would this work?

or they could do something creative such as putting the entire laser inside a large flashlight, such as one that uses D sized batteries. So to the FDA it will just look like a flashlight.
Both of these are still illegal, no two ways about it. Plot, scheme, whatever, it won't make a difference, as Frothy says. Of all of us, he is the one who would know best. And, you can go look up all the laws yourself. It's illegal either way. Same goes for re-stickering the lasers: still illegal, and only goes to further prove the premeditated, intentional, knew-it-was-illegal-and-tried-to-skirt-the-law nature of the crime if it ever ends up in court.
And seriously, like Frothy said so eloquently above, DON'T POST PLANNED CRIMES ON A PUBLIC FORUM.
And really, think about it for a second. DX is going along with this, following the rules from the FDA and clearly complying with the FDA's requests. Now you call/e-mail DX and say "hey, how about re-stickering me some lasers and sneaking them through customs for me, or slipping them inside flashlights so I don't get caught by the FDA". What's to stop DX, who has already complied with the FDA, from e-mailing someone in Washington and saying "Hey, this guy asked us to illegally import laser for him, here's his info, don't you see what a good company we are and how we do good business?". I could very easily see DX turning you in in a situation like that. If I was a business in the FDA's bad graces, seems like exactly the kind of thing I would try to do to get back in their good graces.
But hey, it's your life, your decision. I sometimes drive over the speed limit at the risk of getting a ticket. It's a personal decision, and sometimes it's worth the risk to me. Is it worth the risk (many thousands of dollars and jail time) to you personally for you to have access to cheap green lasers, especially when green lasers are still available through legal channels? You decide for yourself.[/quote]
lol... i was partially kidding... dont jinx it.
haha..
i guess we will wait and see what happens.
maybe DX will get a new way of paying besides paypal... but paypal was so easy :'( (well when i FINALLY found out how to add debit cards (which may I add is still complicated to do)) haha funny, i just contradicted what i just said about paypal... nvm then!
