but i'm not gonna argue with you. if you say so, then okay.
like i said, when they check people it's supposedly random. but, really, if you're not asian..then everything's all good. if your skin's brown or you don't have blonde hair, then watch what you buy.
yeah, blah blah, sounds racist. but that's the way it is.

Ok, thats the most random things i've ever heard.... I have 4 asian friends (1 japanese, 1 indian and 2 chinese) that study in the US... they take technology with them to the US all the time. And they've been stopped a lot, but never have they checked for "fake" camera's or whatever you're on about! Its all to do with import taxes and distribution laws... BUT, if you wanna believe what you're saying, then its a shame on you, because if you ever go to japan, i'm sure there will be lots of hi-tech that you would wanna buy that might be confiscated right
