Hi Trampy,
No truer words ever spoken! I remember the day I found out private carriers could open pkgs without a warrant.Amazing!
In my day,postal employees were trained to be aware of possible lethal/chemical/hazardous materials being shipped thru the USPS system and educated on how to react properly and quickly if one came across a suspicious pkg of this type,how to contact HazMat,evacuate the building(they hate that)LOL! and etc... Never would one even consider discussing a carriers customers or anyone in the MPC's.
Snail mail may be slower,but in the long run,you have more protected rights using them.Good Post.
