Here’s a link to the EPA emissions tampering:

Will they really bust down his door over an anonymous comment on an internet forum?

My issue with this sort of discussion in a public domain is not the FBI knocking down your door at 4AM, it's that the government might pick up on what people are doing to get around it and then make it harder to get around it. E.g. Adding a way for the OBDII software to compare the software checksums between stock and aftermarket tunes. This is already a reality in California.
