    drug dealers are potential buyers of hard drive magnets lol

    so I am kidding about selling these to drug dealers so please do not do so. today I got online and almost blew coffee out my nose laughing when I seen this article on yahoo and the picture of this but its a story of this women who lives in mexico and comes across the border to work and she called the cops on herself after seeing people taking packages from under her car. turns out it was 30lbs of pot they smuggled by attaching them underneath with lots of hard drive magnets. since there so strong and when I seen the pic of this omg I started laughing at the thought of selling magnets at a premium to smugglers and how big of sales you could possibly have for all the ones who do this 1000 times a day across the border. which like I said its a funny thought but please do not do this .

    I saw this come through my news feed on Facebook yesterday from Mike the Scrapper. I thought it was pretty funny.

    I one time heard they use lithium to make meth not sure how true that is or isn't.......This makes me wonder why there is a few buyers who can pay a huge premium over others for LI-Ion batteries.....It's all conspiracy theory.

    I think that is one of the precursors that they catch them with at W*lmart.
