Postal experiments ;-)

A small team with plenty of free time decided to test the QoS of the USPS. Wink They've sent a number of items to US destinations and tested whether they arrived and if yes, then in what condition. Smile Check out the story at Improbable Research. I liked the one with the helium balloon the most. Laughing out loud

FedEx is picky too :->

Another story ... this time about FedEx. If things go on like this, sooner or later we'll need a special NSA (or whatever security agency) authorization even for letters being sent to the US. And who knows, maybe for emails sent to US servers too. :-> I wonder: when are they going to realize that there's no way to stop terrorists without stopping travel and communication in the world completely? Shock Any "filter" or rule can be circumvented, it's just a question of time and effort. I'd say the best way to fight terrorism is to take away the reasons for doing it.
