The problem with the sniper system is that it promotes the product in exactly the way that the FTC are cracking down on. If you follow the system, you are basically giving a fake testimonial which, thanks to Acai etc, is now right in the firing line. I'm pretty sure review sites are not safe either.
To give any testimonial now, you have to state on the testimonial page, what the typical results are. You can no longer say "results may be non-typical" but you need to say exactly what the typical results are (as if anyone would have any idea with info products). You can't make stuff up, so unless you stick to products that you actually use you might be in trouble.
There's rumours that they only go after one industry at a time, but when they do, they pick someone and make them the example. At the moment it's going to be acai/diet. Who knows what's next.
One thing you need to know is that the product owner will also cop a big fine if you are not promoting that product legally, hence the new terms for all the affiliate networks.
