So I ordered a little plastic connector for the iPhone to do some development for client (iPhone docking station to control a high end camera). Sadly, the only supplier of the 'real' connector (and not one that's a cheap clone), has to be ordered from Sweden (@pple is very tight with their stuff).

I get the envelop with a large tape across the opening from where they opened it saying "department of homeland security".

Hmmmm.... anyone else with this experience?

It's good to see there doing their job.
I obtain health supplements from the US which are regularly inspected by Australian customs.

Well, I'm all for keeping our country safe, but you have to wonder, where does it end? I'll agree to them opening 'suspicious mail', but when do they start 'wiretapping' people automatically, just because my mail was triggered for a 'random search'. They could claim, "Oh, it's a computer....

ahhh... I'll just stop there.... I won't win anyway. I'll give up now.

Well, would YOU trust the Swedes?
Like, where did they get all those beautiful blonde babes? Something's just a little fishy.

Mmmmm, I can't see the connection.
Conspiracies must be in the mail.

Muslims are a major problem in Sweden and so are the ever growing number of Muslim haters.

That was awkward. After watching the video and went to reply at the bottom of the postings, all the reply to post and etc buttons was gone. Even on the other threads. But now it is working.

Maybe some bug, (gubernet) blocking me or screwing with my computer!

Good thing you didn't have one of those blow up ladies in the box :laughing7: :laughing7: :laughing7:

I could ONLY imagine someone getting a computer shipped. I am sure DHS would have to look in the package and put their "OWN" programs before it arrived at you address.

Yeah it is a darn shame they have to bring in translators. yeah, here in the U.S. as well. But if the kids are coming here not speaking the continents language, then they need to learn it real quick or GO BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM!
