Most seed orders take place through the mail using cash and money-orders. As far as being tagged for buying seeds, people get "caught" all the time. Their packages are seized by customs and they get a nice little note in the mail about it. If your "friend's" seeds has been discovered he would have gotten one of these letters long before he was "strip searched".

Are we really to believe they have a lubed up gloved finger waiting for all of us? Save your tall tales for your pick-up lines.
