As an example of how they are always watching stuff posted through normal channels...
A mate is the youth worker/pastor at our church. He often tries to engage people using fun chemistry tricks (hydrogen+fairy liquid, foam, etc). I can't remember the details but for one demo he ordered a few bits and pieces online, I think from multiple vendors.
Shortly afterwards, he had a knock on the door and it was the police.
Turns out the things he'd bought could be used together to create something dodgy (I can't recall drugs or explosives) and the automated systems and pieced this together and flagged it to the rozzers.

Years ago there was a student at the Polytechnic here who was going over to Amsterdam and buying sheets of blotter acid, which he'd post back to his home address (though with a false name). Nice little earner until one day his air mail envelope arrived and, opening it, he found the joker from a pack of cards
A few minutes later one of his mates who was visiting left the house - only to come flying back into the hall before he'd got the front door shut behind him, closely followed by a number of burly coppers, a dog, and several members of the drug squad. He got eighteen months, as I recall
(For the avoidance of doubt: I actually knew the guy slightly through mutual friends and he confirmed the details to me in conversation one evening while he was on bail awaiting trial, so it's not just an urban legend.)
