is it safe and secure to order these things online
 

Hello, Maybe you can help me I live in an area where there is no indoor gardening supply stores. Needless to say when buying a grow light I prefer to pay cash for fairly obvious reasons...I mean is it safe and secure to order these things online or by mail or is your name registered in some government computer as a possible drug cultivator even though it might be a shed full of tomatoes your intending to grow?? I just like my privacy thats all and I was wondering if ordering these things by mail or internet is in fact secure from the prying eyes of law enforcement. Any personal knowledge regarding this or advice? Thanks for your time.

Our government has giving law enforcement the power to do just about anything they want in the name of the war on drugs. The last Bush we had in the Whitehouse tried to put every indoor grow store out of business (Operation Green Merchant) and even harassed buyers by subpoenaing their UPS records. Now we got another Bush along with a Dick and Colon running the show now. And we all know daddy bush is pulling the strings.

All I can say is that I do not give, sell, trade any member information on this web site. I would even go as far as saying that I would not surrender my records even under the threat of jail.
I am a card carrying member of the ACLU and would love for the government to knock on my door with a subpoena.
As for them hacking into my system is another story. Ever time they bust one of those kids that hack into NASA or IBM, they slap them on the wrist and give them a job to hack for them.
That's why internet privacy legislation is so important.
