Quoted: I have a good friend who owns and operates a demolition company. (Buildings, bridges, etc.) We send each other packages. VERY legal and harmless. IF he uses his company's name on the return addy,(which, includes the words, "explosive" and "demolition", I have to pick up that package at the main Post Office, no matter how small it is! If he sends a package "without" his company name on it, it will be delivered right to my front door. No matter how big it is. I always make sure that I eat some Oreo cookies and smile for the camera at the Post Office. Just because you're [b]PARANOID,[/b] it doesn't really mean [b]their not out to get you[/b]. Bill |

All post offices have cameras for security. Most of this was put in motion long before 9/11. So, what is your point?

My point being, my friend, is that those packages from "Brownell's, Midway, "Cheaper Than Dirt", etc. are "red flagged"! And are being watched!
My UPS Lady gives me the "evil eye" when I receive an "ORM-D" package with a return label from an ammo company. |

Really! The only thing that the USPS is concerned about is mailing dangerous material that may cause harm to one of its employees. First class mail is sealed against inspection. For you to have the honor of being watched, you would have to be involved in some illegal activity such as sending illegal drugs through the mail. Frankly, your paranoia is unfounded.

My UPS and USPS people smile when they deliver the goods - including C&R rifles and thousands of rounds of ammo. After all I am keeping them in business.
The high resolution satellites in orbit can use their milli-meter radar to penetrate your wooden houses right down to the guns under the mattress and the location of your safe. High resolution cameras there can read the model of the rifle you're out plinking with out in the woods. |

No you are not paranoid, the post office will check mail and they don't need a reason, they will check it for porn, and other stuff, these checks can not in themselves be used against you in court but they will use them for setting up better things that can be used against you in court. They will check packages to see if there is any thing good to steal in them, (post office thefts are rampant) if they find something else they will say the package was ripped open in transient. BEWARE this is done with the wink of law enforcement authorities.

This happens with regularity in the small town where my brother and his family lives. Many times I have sent him packages and they never make it. They must get "lost in the mail". Even things like wedding invitations don't get thru. They routinely drive to another town to send mail. Most of the town folks think the post office guy is some weirdo without a life of his own. |
