DOT says you cant transport them, EPA (THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) says you cant use them. it is a huge violation that they will fine/jail you for. the EPA has really stepped it up on section 608 violations (refrigerants)
making these units is not a violation of any law unless you posses refrigerants and do not have an EPA 608 license to handle refrigerants. not sure about how many people on the forums do or do not have their certs. I doubt any one would actually be pwnt by the EPA unless they posted pics of them dumping 4000LBS of R12 into the air
A good rule of thumb: if they wont let you buy it with out a license its illegal for you to handle it.
(if you want to stay legal) you do not need a license for some very useful refrigerants here are a few off the top of my head. most of them can be purchased from places that have alternative uses.
