Friend dropped off a large parcel and they told him it would be subject to mandatory searching due to its size. Anyone know what's up with this? X-rays?
Mandatory searches on large parcels out of USPS in California?

The clerk was trying to shake to buddy to see if he had just come up on a pound that some dude dropped off to him.
Think about it: CA has 1/10 of the USPS total market. The USPS gets 0 govt funding and is already struggling to compete with private carriers. A policy like that would add to their TTD which, to the customer and subsequently to them, is unacceptable, especially if an alternative exists. If you're mailing a pound you don't really have a choice, but if you're a legit business (99.99% of their packages) then you tell USPS to go fuck itself.

Your "Friend" is an idiot. People use USPS because you need a warrant to search them. Before you can get a warrant you need reasonable suspicion, then you need probable cause. Even if a vendor has an IQ of 80 he/she can manage not to cause flags pretty easily.

Could be a scare tactic to discourage missuse during harvest season.
If he is mailing it overnight it will get x-rayed because it does go on a plane of course.....

If it was sent First Class (this includes Priority and Express mail), then the contents are protected by law against unwarranted inspection. They'd need a warrant to open it. What they said is not true.
I’m surprised they haven’t started doing this already
