While being a trader who is a criminal may not be something that is planned, why not be a trader evading criminals?
I think the link in my signature is something that could partly fulfill what players want from smuggling.
My idea would create an uneven economic landscape, the ability for players to influence the outcome, and a obstacle to be evaded when transporting materials.

1) You're killling my Han Solo fantasies here.
2) This still wouldn't avoid smuggling being an alt profession. Zero activity, emergent gameplay, grouplay, etc. here. You're just creating a bigger pipeline for smartbombing BSs.
While you would not be a smuggler I think your other analysis is completely and utterly wrong in every assumption.
Smartbomb camps are easily evaded in any ship, and if there were a limited number of choke point gate camps would be completely avoidable.
Secondly there are multiple avenues of group play, Scouting through cargo ships, using a cloaked ship to do it solo, hiring other people to move your freight, pvp battles for control of gate camps, and using wormholes to move your goods.
The new price gaps that would form because everything isn't coming from Jita would be a massive opportunity for profit and it could easily be a full time profession, especially if my idea made the four empires equal in their market share.

Commander Ted is saying "make dangerous territory with lowsec bottlenecks
I'm saying "make more precious demanded cargo, and make it restricted and enforced by NPCs in highsec, with the possibility of pvp emergence on gates and off stations.
Gorgoth is suggesting a new service of smuggling through gate-hacking minigames and new demand for better/new drug/booster applications.
If you read my thread you would know I do not suggest having bottlenecks, I want a very large area.
I suggested adding new space to make the new areas as bottleneck free as possible.
My suggestion would be more in line with the sandbox as it would be player directed and service more players than just people interested in smuggling..
