NEW ORLEANS — (AP) — Three thousand pairs of false eyelashes have been seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents after officials determined they were illegally imported from China to New Orleans.
The four boxes of long lashes seized Tuesday at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport were destined for a local beauty supply store, agency spokesperson Matthew Dyman said in a statement.
They hadn’t been approved by the federal Food and Drug Administration and weren’t labeled with the distributor's name or the manufacturer’s name, he said.
That means there's no way to tell whether the eyelashes had been exposed to disease during manufacturing or whether they were stored properly and kept away from insect-infested areas, Dyman told The Times-Picayune / The New Orleans Advocate.
“There’s no telling what’s on these eyelashes,” he said.
False eyelashes can be made of synthetics and are attached using adhesive, and unregulated or dangerous materials could lead to allergic reactions, eye irritation or worse, Dyman said.
No business or individual has been cited, the newspaper reported.
Unlabeled, non-FDA-approved false lashes are often seized in New Orleans but officials said this shipment was "particularly large," WVUE-TV reported .

TRUTH: Homeland Security has determined that the eyelashes were actually manufactured by the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and are capable of transmitting everything the wearer sees up to a Chinese "Eye-in-the-sky" satellite for retransmission to the CCP Security Bureau. You never know when someone is watching.
If I was to wear a set of the lashes could I see inside the pentagon?
LOL. They don't give the wearer any extra powers, but if you worked inside the Pentagon, what you see and hear there would be transmitted to the Chinese PLA. BEWARE THE GLOBAL GRASP OF THE CHINESE BOOGY MAN!!!!!
Do you mean like this?

Just noticed-- I put the wrong video in 2. 1. 1.
Here's the corrected comment:

On bilibili, that great line - "You can't fight in here. This is the War Room".
I want to get the kind that when a women is fully clothed and you are wearing these lashes-- you can see her naked!
When I was a kid there used to be Comic books that had ads for all sorts of things in the back. One was for "X-Ray Specs":
#genxgrownup #retrogaming #retrotoys X-Ray Specs GenX Toy
Nostalgia - X is for X-Ray Specs | A to Z
To Buzz: It was hard to find this when I googled "X-Ray Specs"-- I had to google "Nostalgia, X-Ray Vision Glasses" or something like that,
(They are still currently sold on Amazon).
Those would be made out of Krypton - VERY expensive.

Yes-- but well worth the extra $$$.
Why? Because in that case not only could these wonderful glasses help you see ladies nekkid-- but they would also come in handy in the unlikely (but possible) attack by an evil low flying Superman!
Now I'm not saying that the Evil Superman and Prime Minister Xi are the same person... but isn't it interesting that nobody has ever seen Prime Minister Xi and Superman in a room together . . .
Attack by Superman? Unlikely, cause you know what the effect Krypton has on Superman is.
You will never see Xi and Superman in a room together because Xi IS Superman. That's why the Americans are so afraid of him that they do everything thay possibly can to discredit and damage China. Superman is NOT an American hero, he is Chinese.
This is just another example of the methods by which China intends to dominate the world and enslave Americans. Just like the university-based Confucius Institutes turn American students into ZOMBIES by teaching them how to do Chinese calligraphy and paper cut-out designs to paste on their windows.
Not to mention contaminating the legitimate market with cheap knockoffs.
In fact they could have been designed to blind the persons who don them, or turn the people who use them into Zombies who will carry out the orders of their master as transmitted from a satellite.
The Chinese are smart-- they know they could never introduce a new strain of Covid by attempting to get Americans to stop by their nearest Wet Market on their way home from work-- to pick-up a tasty Bat for dinner! So instead they appeal to our vanity-- they know they can get American women to buy false lashes. And yes! Each set of lashes is coated with some live Virus of a new, virulent Mutation-- Covid-20!
Thanks goodness for the ever-vigilant agents of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency! (If not for their valiant efforts, we would have all been doomed!!!)
Sneaky bastards, eh? Trump was right to ban the eating of Egg Foo Young in the USA.
Well, at least we can still eat Chinese Vegetable in Black Bean Sauce!
[deleted, one more time, Buzz and where he lives are off topic...]
But these things are illegal for very good reasons. You’re arguing against a straw man by acting like those reasons are something more dramatic than they actually are. A thing might not be the end of the world, but it can still be wrong.
Yeah, I’m not the guy who seeded the story, so . . .
Yeah, and I'm starting to not give a shit about what you have to say.
Because I don’t just automatically agree with you or submit to bullying, I assume.
How about when your comments are personal offences against me? - look at 4.2.4
OK I did. deleted
deleted, more meta.
When I read this thread top to bottom I see where everyone but you saw this as an opportunity to have a little tongue in cheek fun.
You insist on behaving otherwise and seem to just be continuing a previous disagreement for the sake of being disagreeable.
You are blocked from Buzz's articles for 30 days. SP
Slow day for Customs in New Orleans maybe?
I didn’t realize fake fake eyelashes were even a thing.
