Quote from: Icon on December 05, 2012, 03:08 amHello everyone I'm new to SR but I've been lurking reading everything I can trying to see if SR is past its prime after the GAWKER article.I think I know my shit when it comes to acid. I want to go over this story as non-biased as I can to possibly find out how these two were caught. The news article is also not saying a word has to how it was detected, because that would just inform the people shipping it.Anyway, my thoughts on this. I looked up the story myself to double check what the OP said. The article stated that the guy ordered 0.5g of LSD. That is an insane amount of acid. Doing the calculation if you used 100ug per dose which is standard, half a gram would result in 5,000 doses!!!! Worth over $22,000!!!! That is total BULLSHIT. I know the laws about LSD and the law that was passed in 1965 stated that the sentence depends on the weight of the LSD. The whole reason why they put acid on blotters was not only for easier production, but because it was lighter than sugar cubes! 50 blotters is a lot but it could easily be considered dealing amount level.Ok, well the main point of contention is how did they know he was getting the package? Now this is only my opinion here and I'm also new. From looking at the current listings most of it comes from Europe. Its very likely that the package was set aside by customs, and it was probably easy to find in the package. I think that the seller did not ship this very well and when it got set aside at customs it was easily found.I assume its bad to talk about stealth methods on the forums?? I have some really good ideas for shipping LSD that would be impossible to tell unless the tested every square inch of the package.Yeah, don't publicly state any ideas you have. Who knows, people may already be using them. The thing is that as far as the USA goes, they can easily get a warrant. I've read that the only thing it takes is the word of a postal inspector saying to a judge that "it looks suspicious, we have to open it," and the judge goes "sure, here." That's the picture in my head from what I've read on the subject at least, take it for what it's worth.So examining every inch would be a waste of their time. Either it's suspicious and they get a warrant, or it isn't and they deliver it like any other mail.Red flags: package containing liquid. Uneven weight distribution. Tape sealing the package. Hand written labels. Misspellings. Addressed to an individual, from an individual. Shipped form a zip code different than the return address zip code. Etc.I may be wrong on some of this, but for what it's worth, I personally believe 100% in everything stated in this post. The problem is that they don't exactly come out and tell us this, so basically, it may be misinformation. I don't think so, but that's just me.
