Since 1982 I have only got one report about security madness with the
Telinga. That was a poor Canadian guy trying to import a Telinga to
Malaysia and that a corrupted guy claimed that the Telinga was
military material and that the Canadian had to pay outrageous money
to have it stored until authorities had allowed it to be imported.
After some mailing between me and UPS, the Canadian could get his
Telinga via Singapore and UPS sent a mail saying that "the Malaysian
representative in question does not work for UPS any more."
