Well, that depends on where you are. Perfectly legal here in the US. I seem to recall reading posts on this forum to the effect that it is not, however, legal in the UK. I wouldn't be surprised if there are other places it's not legal as well. I have no idea what the penalty is in the unlikely event someone is caught.
