Steve, I sympathize with you 100% but if you want to engage in a fight you
won't win
it is to get in a p*ing contest with the "authorities".
Don't do it.

There must be something wrong with my eyesight.  I've read the Constitution
many times and never seem to find a passage which supports the regulatory
structure of the FDA and many other federal agencies  It can't be the
Commerce Clause since the lasers I build are meant for home and intra-state
use ;-)
