Doesn’t make it illegal.

Just, eh, “complicated”.

Is it stupid to want that stuff in your home? Certainly not without lead condoms. Is it something I’m offended at the government wanting to scoop up? Certainly not.

Did the guy deserve full on hazmat?

Well, I’d probably have pulled out the full containment tent and taken a lot of selfies riffing off the E.T. Movies, but I’m a weirdo.

They could have probably played it cool and that would have been better.

The thing is that got through customs. It was probably declared by the company, since they already got paid and probably warn people to check “local import laws”.

Wasn't tracked, didn't have permits, it's illegal. I don't like it, I think its stupid, but that's the law that's enforced by the courts
