Have you ever managed a fleet of computers (corporate, education, industrial, etc)? I can tell you from first hand experience that a dead/damaged/missing/stolen computer is simply business as usual. Also the likelihood it will be seized at the border is low. Its not none, but it is low.
How am I fucking over my library? If it is seized at the border, I’m on the hook to pay to replace it, and I will.
They aren’t in the business of selling laptops. Even if you pay for it they are still out time and resources.
Edit: But the post I was replying to was suggesting lieing (by omission) to the library, which is a shitty thing to do.
