Feds intercept bogus electronics at O'Hare

According to recent reporting in the Chicago Sun-Times, Federal agents at O'Hare Airport intercepted 25 cartons of counterfeit electronics coming in from China and bound for Florida.

An estimated $1.2 million worth of bogus brand-name electronics were seized, including cell phones, game systems and head phones.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents flagged the shipment earlier this month after becoming suspicious of its paperwork during a routine inspection, officials said.

Yikes, and oh by the way, haven't you heard? The counterfeit electronics trade is killing the industry.
