That's quite the story Jonathan. Let's hope nobody from GSP ever reads
this ;-)

I guess it really depens on alot of factors how they even notice it.
Also i think its based on the description of the seller. So for
example if you write "B4998 Burroughs Nixie Tube" it might get
detected by some sort of matching system. But "small round nixie tube"
won't match any systems. I don't know what database they use, but some
nixies / tubes are listed for sure. Speaking about that, some tubes
have restricted. For example the B-7094 Jumbo tube is technically
illegal to ship from USA, because its listed as an ITAR (some military
thing) restricted item, another example is a non nixie tube the KN-6
Krytron because it was used in nuclear devices! But for the realism,
if one can get all the other parts for such a device, i guess its easy
to manage an export of krytrons!
I don't think they check every content manually because...
My 2nd hobby is radiation science, and once i ordered a tube from US
which was radioactive, had a big fat icon on the tube box, and it was
so radioactive you could detect it through the package! Went trough GSP!
Also alot of tubes i orderd came in sealed tube boxes which were never
opened by GSP
Also it might be dependant on the person working on you package. If
some guy who never seen radio vacum tube would get your package, how
could he possible identify the correct item? Alot of tubes are even
offered as "Lamp" on ebay... :)
