He certainly seems to have proven a point other than the one intended. . .

Im sure these people broke some sort of international laws thru intentional mislabling of packages

Many packages get mislabelled in order to expedite shipping and to save a lot of hassles from customs. I'm sure that the penalties for mislabelling
packages are minor.

Your more then likely thinking wrong.
Knowledge is useless to useless people...

There are no allegations of mislabeling in the indictment. The Howes claim that they did not mislabel their
packages. Please support your claim that they engaged in this behavior.

The link that Gorden brown posted with the call from the DEA agent to the reporter if indeed real suggested that the DEA ordered chemicals and they
mislabled the chemicals in the order on request.

I took the time to listen to that conversation. What the
DEA guy says is that they, the DEA, ordered chemicals asking for the packages to be mislabeled. He does not say (in that call) that the vendor
actually did mislabel the packages.
What the indictment says is that the packages they ordered were labeled "red metal for iron works" and "iodine for medical use". The first is a bit
misleading, I'll admit, but not the kind of outright fabrication where you put "baby powder" on the manifest. The second is labeled "iodine" and had
iodine in it. There's no language I'm aware of that purposive add-ons to a label (the "for medical use" part) are anything but advisory.

The more poverty there is, the more drugs and violence there will be. Governments seem to chose the easy ways to solve their tough problems:
restricting personal freedoms. Uncontrollable crime? Let's institute life sentences for minor offenses! Our nation has a drug problem? Let's ban
chemicals! Oh, how where we supposed to know those chemicals happen to be used in almost everything we use?
(sarcasm) Someone got murdered and a gun was involved? Ban guns!
Oh no! There was a school shooting thousands of kilometers away in North Dakota. Let's expel an 11-year old child because his mother packed a kitchen
knife so he could slice his lunch apple! (this actually happened).
Because of a small handful of Arab terrorists, everyone else has to go through hour long lines at the air carriers. It would be "racially
discriminatory" to only check the Arabs. So Arab immigration into other countries costs those countries billions
in security and wasted time. There are so many numerous hidden and subtle nuanced costs associated with bringing in people from other poorer
countries.
An example, the football/soccer fields near me are closed a third of the time to allow the grass time to regrow. This was not always so, but now with
so many people using the fields, the grass gets stomped to muddy dirt. This is from a large influx of immigrants that cannot find jobs and so play all
throughout the day. The sport is very popular in their country, so they tear apart the grass. In one city near me, 80% are immigrants. They are so
poor that 30 people cram together into one small house (I am not exaggerating). In that city there is much violence. I had a family member who worked
as a teacher at a public school there. There are FREQUENT drive-by shootings. Recently, a student was found stabbed to death in a car in the parking
area. My local government wants to ban guns, but the truth is, it is only all the poor immigrants that are shooting eachother, unintentionally
prompting the wider government to take away more of the rights and freedoms of everyone else.

Thank-you so much for that. Wow you really opened my eyes and I'm not just being sarcastic or disrespectful in any wayy possbile. You truly have a
gift of seeing the truth of the world as it really is.
I suggest you travel the world and preach your principles on being. Many lives can change for the better and I'd even go as far to say that healing
can be accomplished through your lifechanging sermon.
Keep spreading your word of love. Many will hate, but the few that love your message are the ones who will benefit by the true love and knowledge of
knowing the truth.
Keep on keepin on brother.

OMG! Where will it end? Requiring
people to have licenses to drive cars, practice law or medicine, install gas appliances and electrical wiring, design bridges... A sorry state of
affairs!

It WOULD be racially discriminatory to detain or "check" Arabic peoples as the sole source of terrorism.
Sorry .....that doesn't fly. There was a guy named Timothy McVeigh....(remember him? Nice white man...?) There was so many differing agendas that make
up terror that one group is never totally responsible for the actions of a single section of that group or we'd all think that German's (& their
allies) were still Nazis....Right?
I really despise the infringement on personal freedoms so long as I am harming no one else, etc. But I am NOT going to buy into some bigoted
tripe....sorry; can't buy into that.
