    govt. shutdown & opportunity

    I'm sorry to post this in what could be the wrong section of the forum. I've had trouble deciding where to post this.

    I have an idea about the govt. shutdown that might have big implications. With only essential govt. business getting any attention perhaps this is a better time to order something from overseas than other times...

    Thoughts?

    Probably would have been better for the lounge...and I don't think customs has been affected that much so no, probably no different.

    Agreed on both counts except, its not just customs that are a part of the usual government apparatus opposing such activities. And, customs may not be doing the same amount and type of activities they would usually be doing.

    Maybe they do watch these sites. Maybe usually. Maybe not usually, maybe not currently? However, if they watched these sites to the level that people are paranoid about with regard to the NSA listening to our phone conversations we would all be ****ed, and a PM...proper ****ed.

    Lounge material
    I don't know if customs is shut down but I highly doubt it since that would be a major homeland security issue so I doubt anytime is a good time. Touchy subject imo.

    Only 18% of the govt is actually shutdown. Many are still working, just getting IOUs until the dems sign all of the CR's sitting on the table.

    I would not be any less vigilant if I were you.

    Agreed, Customs, nor any other enforcement agency is not 100% shutdown.

    Sure they collect and store data, but physically monitor? doubtful. Busting the recreational steroid user is not a high priority.

    I agree. My thoughts are parallel. They may record and have access for some type of future giant sting against an organization that doesn't relate so much to this topic as to something they are legitimately directed toward. Or like facebook, recording for future use against our children or something but, at this moment I don't think they are taking much initiative with regard to this.

    Point taken. I ain't about to go down for a steroid dealer either, not if I could help it.

    It's a us navy jack. Very interesting history that goes back to the American revolution.

    I'm into history...and learning from it.

    Join or Die! ...Anyway, out of respect for the fact that this is probably the wrong section of the forum, I'm dropping the subject.
    Thanx for the patience.
