Baditude pretty much nailed it. Among some other things.

I don't think its OT but along the lines of explosives, are flashlights allowed in carry on or checked luggage? and if you could rig explosives in a PV or even a detonator, couldn't the same thing be done with a cell phone or ipad? Geez, I don't know if this is against forum rules come to think of it. If so, I'm sorry. Its an area I never paid attention to.

But in that case wouldn't they be eyeing all electronic devices? Is there something about a mod that would make better bombs than a little MP3 player or cell phone?
@ Analogbgone: No, no, nothing like that.
I don't know if I should even continue now! Let's just say it has a lot to do with the potential dangers of recent innovations in e-cigarettes.

Very interesting. I'm really surprised they didn't just buy the gear though. Cost cutting at work everywhere these days!
I too think it's something local, and that kinda scares me.
The main guy kept asking another employee about how the filament in the atomizer worked. She compared it to a light bulb and he said, "so it applies heat evenly over a resistance wire" and she asked if he was a vaper. He asked a few more really weird questions, then she said this wasn't "that" kind of store, and that's when he flashed his ID.

I agree. You know that saying, "All politics are local." And those guys are definitely as political as you can get.

Thay have been pulling this since I can remember.
It was 1975 a pinata' party they asked to "borrow" the pinata so they could xray it.
Never saw them again..
Thats a rather strange story since the Chinese find every single hidden battery in mods trying to evade xray---so I figure the feds should have battery in metallic item tech since the 70's.. Must be a props for a conference..

An apv, like a mech doesn't require anything that would ring any bells with security to formulate something. A shorted battery is a small and simple improvised explosive device part.

This makes the most sense for the fbi to roll up in there the way they did..
Yeah but yah has to understand the FBI comes into work everyday, not just today, they work 5 days a week just like every else. If yah understand this,,,, that come to work everyday like other people, then when you see dem working it wont bother you so much....
Don't believe this for a minute. Either this is a troll or somebody has been fooled. The FBI raiding a B&M in Dayton, Ohio, lol. I can believe the FBI might be investigating vaping devices, in which case they would purchase said devices on the down-low, probably online.
They didn't raid, dude. They came in and one dude talked the whole time and it was cool the whole time. I'm not one to lie. If you see my join date or look at my prior posts, you'd know I would never come up with some kind of lie this big to attract attention. It was a neat experience, I will say that.
Read this post a couple times, even tried inserting english where needed and I still don't get it
This is a most interesting thread! Wow, I'd be freaking if the FBI showed up at my workplace, especially a vapeshop, asking to "borrow" gear. Thanks for sharing!
I think I will take some x-rays of my eVic next week, along with a couple different toppers. Wont help the FBI solve any crimes but I may be able find out why some Kangers leak, get a good look at the silicon insulator tightened down on a 510 connection.
I'll post the images, industrial x-ray has gone digital so easy to save the images as jogs.

Remember the Underwear Suicide Bomber who set himself on fire when his homemade bomb went awry on a plane?
I suspect this B & M investigation by the FBI has some ties to this situation. A mod could be rigged to set itself off with the right kind of explosive (liquid?).
I predict e-cigs will soon be banned as carry-on devices on air flights.
