With that in mind, I have a couple minor fact fixes: * The link between movie counterfeiting and terrorism in Western nations has never been substantiated by anyone. The link between movie counterfeiting and terrorism in specific geographic areas, such as Lebanon, is plausible. If you want to support terrorism, don't buy counterfeit movies downtown, buy them in Beirut. * Lucky and Flo can detect polycarbonate optical discs by scent. They cannot tell between a counterfeit DVD and a licensed DVD, or even a photo-CD or any other optical disc. Human inspectors open any packages sniffed by the dogs and check its contents. Shippers, keep FedEx's commitment to privacy in mind when you choose your next courier. "We may, at our sole discretion, open and inspect any shipment without notice."
