Are these procedures really needed if you break a CFL light bulb?

I am working on stockpiling incandescent bulbs now, as they will soon be illegal (I think 2012?). I'm not sure, at that point, if it will just be illegal to manufacture more, or if I will be a felon for having the "intent to distribute" incandescent light bulbs.

Wow, who would have ever imagned the day when it would possibly be considered illegal to distribute light bulbs?

Its why I think the bulb manufacturers themselves have a hand in it. If the market persisted after they stopped making incandescents it would open the opportunity to someone else.

It became obvious when they started busting toilet smugglers at the Canadian border.
