Tim May says-
Package delivery services like UPS and Federal Express *do* have immunity from prosecution based on what they carry, but this is in exchange for allowing inspection of packages under specified circumstances. Thus, if the DEA suspects a package contains cocaine, it can be inspected, and the shipper will most likely cooperate in resealing the package and continuing the shipment.
That reminds me. I once got a conference announcement from Europe in the mail. Printed on the envelope was a little icon showing a profile of the head of a guy wearing a hat (like a policeman or mailman's hat), and an arrow pointing from about his eye level to a picture of an open envelope. This looked like the original envelope, untouched, and the icon seemed to have been there from the start. Anybody know what it means? -fnerd - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - nutritional information per serving: less than one (1) bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.3a aKxB8nktcBAeQHabQP/d7yhWgpGZBIoIqII8cY9nG55HYHgvt3niQCVAgUBLMs3K ui6XaCZmKH68fOWYYySKAzPkXyfYKnOlzsIjp2tPEot1Q5A3/n54PBKrUDN9tHVz 3Ch466q9EKUuDulTU6OLsilzmRvQJn0EJhzd4pht6hSnC1R3seYNhUYhoJViCcCG sRjLQs4iVVM= =9wqs -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
