Could anyone explain why my package was inspected by ComReg, it was a TP Link wifi booster declared as a wireless signal repeater.
I was under the impression that ComReg have no authority in regards to customs.
FFG for you
“…of course it’s company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a dildo, we have to use the indefinite article ‘a’ dildo.”
Repeaters are used for keyless car theft relay attack. They are just checking if it was that you were buying. Amazon have 3rd party sellers so they could be selling anything tbh.
Used to test wifi/BT/etc for a living. Ordered a signal jammer just before they were made illegal as it was for testing signal hopping when a channel was fully etc.
It didn’t arrive for a long time. Then the guy in the office got a call that there was good news and bad news.
Good news was it did arrive. Bad news was it was with two custom officers and two gardai. There was like a possible up to 25k fine and prision time. The guy I work with went white. I just laughed it off. Once they understood it was ordered for legitimate reason they just took it and forgot about it.
Would’ve thought customs only had the powers to open packages. Learn something new everyday.
