Counter point: They catch moonshiners by staking out the places you can buy large volumes of corn and sugar. They catch meth cooks by monitoring large quantity purchases of those ingredients (whatever they are...). They bust up grow houses by finding higher than average power bills due to all the climate control equipment used. It is not beyond reason that they could catch (or at least become aware of) individuals with home labs by flagging purchases of those supplies and/or equipment.

I don't actually know enough about the details of doing home virus experimentation and engineering to know for sure. I just have a vague recollection of having heard some stuff about how those abilities are filtering down to DIY land.
