I don't know about TN or other states, but there was something in the local
paper the other day, to the effect that the Pa Dept. of Revunooeers was
setting up a new program to start going after people who hadn't paid state
sales tax on out-of-state purchases as required by law. If I recall the
numbers correctly, they expected to spend about $4M to set this up, and
recover about $40M+/annum as a result.
Now it does make you wonder... how are they going to force an out-of-state
firm like TT to reveal the names & addresses of customers in-state who've
purchased, say, an Orion II recently? Sad to say, there's always a way...

Bob,
What is the telephone number of the Tennessee Department of Revenue? I'm
gonna report you and collect a reward! Besides, don't you know that UPS
sticks fork lift tines through all Ten-Tec boxes or haven't you been
reading the reflector?
