I should hope the Chinese gov won't cooperate, good for them. Remember Canal Street.

It's odd that all that stuff is still for sale on easttrades.com. For the heck of it, I made as if I were going to buy something, and they even let you pay with paypal! It even appears to be on the up and up, with the https website and everything -- I guess they're honest when selling the stuff, but hacking to get the stuff! At least the customer was always right with them! I wonder what would happen if people continued to buy from that website? Shouldn't it be closed down?

It's troubling how the guy could book a flight with those fake ids. We could stop the proliferation of fake IDs with a simple step, lower the minimum drinking age to 18. That way loads of fake id dealers would shut down, since the most people interested in buying would be the real criminals, not college kids wanting to get into bars. Only the hardcore fake id suppliers would be still willing to operate. The college kids making them would likely shut down, since there's no reason for their friends to buy fakes. The average price of the fakes would likely go up, since there'd be much less supply and fewer suppliers. This would prevent the 16,17 yr old kids from tryin to get too many.
