They replaced C.I.T.E.S with D.U.C.T.A.P.E

Convention International Treaties Endangered Species (aka RED TAPE) was effectively replaced by Duct-tape!
Yes it happened throughout North America without anyone noticing, even here in Canada goannas are all over now, and an amazing diversity of species to!
Recently I was informed by someone who wishes to remain anonymous, that red tape is now a thing of the past, no more hassle with the governments and bureaucrats, at least not to get them in! However an export permit is only a phone call away thanks to the Canadian government’s amazing ethics, doesn’t matter how they come in as long as they know how they go out, WOW speechless!
CITES was funded to protect the worlds wild life against abusive collecting for skin and commerce, they also work to preserve habitat, I can understand that poverty can affect on over collecting wild population, however I cant understand why westerners who’d deliberately and wrongfully abuse this organism who’s noble role is to preserve endangered species.
Aim quit familiar with the red tape system of importation, however just out of curiosity how those duck tape system works? So I ask the experts! Do you need any special skills? Lets say if you have sensitive skin like myself do you need some kind buffer like antiperspirant or baby powder, or if your more the desert rat type do you need to shave? Do you slowly pull the tape or whack it rapidly? Is it always painful or just at first? Can custom officers spot you because of tape marks? Even a week later?
Any idea guys? Shod I use a maxi pad to keep an acceptable moisture level? (Long trips)
