Same thing happened to Ramsey Electronics.  You can go to
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/01/04/2316228&mode=nocomment
to read the owner's account of the FBI raid on Ramsey (yes, it was
actually a raid, like what you would expect if Ramsey were selling
drugs), as well as read or participate in an ongoing discussion of the
event.

Very interesting.  They are mainly targetting devices which are already
built into deceptive housings (clocks, smoke alarms, etc) as they /are/
illegal, they are also hitting devices which are advertised as devices
to be used in deceptive settings (ie, radio transmitter that can be
hidden anywhere! or Pinhole cameras, make your own hidden cameras!).

It appears as though they've taken many of the kit forms of FM
transmitters and such as well...

This is a hotly debated issue on Slashdot, one side saying the feds took
transmitters which are used by boy scouts and schools, and ignoring the
hidden mic and camera part; the other side citing various criminal codes
and their own privacy issues (ie, I don't want my employer to be able to
get one of the clocks nd place it in my work area, and technically it
/is/ illegal to manufacture/sell/ship these items, nevermind actually
using the for criminal activities.)
