Just flat out NO.

Smuggling is one of the few things in EvE that take genuine ingenuity and team work to pull off. It doesn't need to be dumbed down so every dip that can train a skill can do it.

It's an underground career path, like espionage and others it shouldn't have skills to make it simpler. There are already enough ways to get in and out of hisec with drugs while avoiding customs. Figure it out!

The only smuggling love i'd like to see is possibly new contraband items introduced.

But making it easier to smuggle? No please don't dumb it down CCP. Leave some things in game that require creative thinking skills please. We should have to figure out creative ways to deal with our NPC overlords, not skills and modules to bypass them...

Interesting perspective. And how much player interaction does it involve? Can you be hunted by other players for smuggling? Or are you just avoiding NPCs.

I think if you read through the whole thread you might find that many of the ideas do not involve duping NPCs. There are systems proposed to add more player interaction to smuggling, not less.

I want to smuggle love. CCP, let me smuggle love!

I think I've spotted a new gag item for the next CE release.

"Love. Must be smuggled."
