Whoa, be careful here. Yeah, people probably do this sort of thing
all the time--but if you're caught you could be charged with mail
fraud.
There was recently a high profile case of a fellow somewhere
in the U.S. who was able to get bubonic plague bacteria
through a similar method. He used his employer's letterhead
to order the stuff from a company in Rockville, MD (my neck of
the woods) and have it sent to his home. He was caught when he
phoned the company to find out why the order was taking so long--
the company representative suspected something after speaking
with the guy for a few minutes about technical matters.
Anyway, it turns out that there is no law in the U.S. against
an individual possessing such dangerous substances. Before the
nerve gas incident in Japan, there was no law there against
individuals possessing dangerous substances either.
So, the authorities had no other recourse than to charge the
fellow (who obtained the bubonic plague bacteria) with
with mail fraud--that's all
Sort of gets you thinking, doesn't it? :-)
