The pills can be very dangerous
I was watching a news report yesterday, and many of those pills contain things like drywall, highway paint, and chemicals that can cause irreversable health problems. Imagine if terrorists started putting something even more serious like cyanide inside a few batches of these shipments, and all of sudden, thousands of people all over the world start keeling over and dying for no apparent reason. And many of these counterfeit pills are making it into legitimate channels such as prescription shops in local drug stores.
Anybody who peddles these kinds of pills should be locked up forever!!! I shouldn't have to worry that the aspirin I buy from a pharmacy could have actually come from China and possibly kill me or my family just because someone over there is looking to make money and doesn't care what's in the pills.
