You really need to do research before getting on here and just saying stuff. The Feds are not ripping anything up. At JFK, what happens is they use a pressure system to see if there are any bombs. The bombs will explode when placed in these pressurized systems. If nothing happens then it is shipped on. The only way gear will get confascated is if it is packaged poorly or if it is coming from a source that is under surveiance.
