If you could you might as well just register for the service and use it legally. It's not like any of those biology-as-a-service companies evaluate what their customers synthesize for pathogenicity.
They might have filters in place that alert them when someone tries to synthesise small pox or the Spanish flu.
I doubt they do. Why would they bother?
There's almost definitely government working group for biosafety that think about issues like this.
Asking a DNA synthesis company to check their order against a handful of genes and report back when a customer tries to order one of those isn't complicated.
The companies inturn prefer informal solutions.
