Customs ripping apart boomboxes?

reli - 2008-09-28 16:59

Anyone ever have the Department of Homeland "Security" open up their package and take apart the boombox? I did, and they broke the plastic tabs trying to take it apart to make sure it wasn't a bomb. Roll Eyes Also causing the amp to come loose and rattle around freely. Fortunately it was a cheap box.

That doesn't matter, Ramon. The Department of Homeland Insecurity is filled with people (at least the foot soldiers) who barely graduated high school. They do this sort of sh!t because they can get away with it. Tap Toes

I'm afraid you're exactly right Bobby. It's going to become more common too. More boomers will be destroyed from across borders - All in the name of National Security.

Hey, tell the sellers DON'T WRIGHT IN PLACE FOR DESCRIPTION IN THE SHIP DOCUMENT "BOOMBOX", maybe the BOOM part of description is problem.

Can we stamp "IDIOT" on all of their foreheads (especially Home Land Security) for the series of retarded events that caused the destruction of your **BOOOOOM** BOX. Roll Eyes
