Re: [iPad] Apple store in Atlanta denies ipad sale... In the article on Yahoo news the customer had admitted that she was going to ship it to Iran. Once that was established the apple employee is not allowed to make the sale due to US federal law. |

Exactly, this is no different than someone walking into a gun store and saying they are going to ship their gun purchase to Iran, Mexico, etc. If the merchant still conducts the transaction, he or she is culpable, end of story.

This. I'm sure the sales associate would love the sale... but the second he was informed of this, it became illegal to sell it to her.
It's unfortunate, but the Apple store, Apple, and the sales associate all acted under U.S. law and are in the clear.
Now she'll just buy it somewhere else on the down low and take it to Iran anyway.
