Its very likely possible. my friend got his 2C-B that he ordered from there intercepted while in the mail last month. and it wasnt even crossing international borders, so there was no customs check. Silk road is becoming too sketchy to be ordering off of past this point, IMO.

International orders are a whole can of worms. Lots of countries don't have the protections Americans are used to.
And once an international police agency gives a tip off to US law enforcement, there's cause for a warrant.

There's probably a laptop on the International Space Station that has the power to break the most advanced encryptions I know about in < 1 week. I hope not, but I believe it.
I don't have kiddie porn, or ANYTHING like that on my devices. The point was you have no idea how easy it is for the state to make a case against you with the most innocent seeming evidence from your computer. I don't want to know what they would find.

found this on wikipedia..
'The die have been cast and now we will see how they land. We will be diverting even more effort into countering their attacks and making the site as resilient as possible, which means we may not be as responsive to messages for a while. I'm sure this news will scare some off, but should we win the fight, a new era will be born. Even if we lose, the genie is out of the bottle and they are fighting a losing War already.'

How would they even get tipped off? But what sketches me out about my friends order is that it was coming from within the country, so there would have been no customs check, they singled his package out of hundreds upon thousands of packages going though the mail. which is what's sketchy.

True. my friend is the most on point drug dealer i know, though. he got stopped with over an ounce of molly on him and managed to talk his way out of getting searched. So i find it funny that they intercepted his package. He's laying low, to say the least.

The Farmer's Market has been raided as far as I know, as they didn't stick to bitcoins.
Silk road itself is not important - the concept of silk road is important as it shows how impossible it is to uphold/enforce prohibition in a free society with a global capitalist market.
farmers Market never used bitcoins. They were around before bitcoins. They used cash, paypal, pecunix and igolder.. and western union at one time. They shouldve just used pecunix and igolder. I think the cash drop were a big mistake cause it left a physical address. a po box, but an address nonetheless. And paypal and western unions were a mistake too.

This is what Silk road said a day or so after Gawker published the first article exposing the website. they seem to be doing a good job keeping the site resilient.

My abject ignorance is showing, but is there any legal precedence concerning the gov. intercepting and reading an individuals personal electronic correspondence without a warrant? I realize that we are currently in the nullification of the constitution " patriot act" era. Have e-mails, cell phone conversations, and the like become fair game for the feds to intercept sans warrant? They need one to tap your phones, or intercept your physical mail, (at least they did) how does this differ, or is there some semantic game played that exempts the other forms of correspondence from inclusion into the need for a warrant to spy on ones own citizens?

It may be a possibility that the vendor is being monitored.
Most cases of people getting caught have to do with the vendors using careless packaging, some sketchy guy mailing out 30 packages a day...
OR
Some users forgetting to keep a low profile and begin to order stuff like there is no tomorrow.
If used correctly, Silk Road is pretty reliable.

If they are in the navy and developed it for the purpose of the navy how can you say that the navy did not develop it?

Everything is just a label essentially. A tree isn't really a tree, but that's what we call it. If an ET being were to see a tree on Earth I'm sure it would label it something entirely different than tree. We already see this happen with a multitude of various languages, and I'm talking about here on Earth. The tree is still a tree regardless of what it is called though.
Just wanted to add I'm not disagreeing with you, I only wanted to throw in that quick explanation.

Yes I understand completely, but then again the concept of a "label" is just a label in itself. "Label" doesn't exist unless that's what you believe it is. It's all about how you perceive things.

That's what makes discussions like this so ironic. We have to label things in order to even form coherent sentences for the purpose of the discussion.
