Safe to purchase from such garden sites like http://www.4hydroponics.com

I was scrolling through this website and was a little impressed with all the products for indoor gardening.

My questions are:

Is it safe to purchase equipment from such websites? Do law enforcement agencies such as DEA follow through orders of such websites to grow houses?

Is it possible to screen off my grow room temperature from infrared cameras used by police?

If so which products hide temperatures and exhaust system pipes?

I ask these questions because I was thinking of purchasing/ constructing a system for up to 20 plants. My plan is to construct a secret grow room/ hide room with a secret entrance in a basement within the home I am planning to purchase and renovate.

Your thoughts please?
Thanks you

Well as far as infrared imaging is concerned maybe you haven't heard of the Supreme Court case Kyllo v. US

Erowid Law Vaults : Supreme Court : Infrared Scanning Unconstitutional (Kyllo v US)

Kyllo v. US
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
[Decided June 11, 2001]

In a 5-4 ruling on June 11, 2001, the US Supreme Court ruled that the use of thermal imaging (infrared) scanners to look at homes for evidence of crimes is unconstitutional without a warrant. The majority issued a broad decision, suggesting that other types of high-tech gear which reduce privacy in the home are also disallowed without a warrant. This decision reverses a set of flip-flopped 9th Circuit Appeals Court decisions where the 9th Circuit first found in favor of Kyllo and then, after a judge resigned, it reheard the case and decided against Kyllo.

The decision was made by an unusual coalition of justices, with Scalia writing the majority opinion, quoting from elements of the ACLU's amicus brief in favor of increased Constitutional rights and Stevens, in dissent, arguing that the Right to Privacy does not protect against scanning devices. Two of the most conservative justices, Scalia and Thomas joined with the more liberal Ginsburg, Breyer, and Souter and the liberal Stevens and moderate Kennedy joined with Rehnquist and O'Connor in dissent.

I've ordered from many places including 4hydroponics. Buying gear is not an indicator of a crime. You should be more concerned about people close to you that you tell what you are doing. That is your biggest risk.
