FYI.  Here is an article that appeared in this morning’s Houston Chronicle.  Are there any more reasons to buy your equipment from your LBS, i.e., Bike Lane!?

Why is this a matter for Homeland Security and not the FBI?

Eugene, the simple answer is that US Customs & Border Patrol (CBP) is the lead agency for enforcement of US Law relative to counterfeit goods when IMPORTED to the USA.

CBP as an agency sits within the Department of Homeland Security, as does TSA and several other agencies.

According to the article, the fake parts were manufactured abroad and then imported (illegally) to the USA.


Regards,
Kevin
