Israel confiscates visiting iPads
Found on The Register on Tuesday, 13 April 2010
An Israeli who tried to bring his iPad back from the US on Tuesday told the Haaretz's business division, TheMarker, that when he tried to declare it at Israeli customs it was confiscated, and he was directed to contact the Ministry of Communications if he wanted it back.
"All new electronic technology that enters Israel is subject to regulation approval, just as in European and many other countries. The Communications Ministry has asked Apple to send the technological specs of the iPad in order to approve its usage in the Israeli market, and any iPads that were held before entering Israel will be returned to their owners."
In the end, confiscating it may be the best to prevent future Apple fanboys and -girls.
