This just occurred to me yesterday. Obviously a little thing like when you check your mail isn't going to foil LE if thet're really determined to get you, but what would happen to an attempted CD if you don't check your mail while they're sitting there watching your mailbox?
All of the scenarios I've seen discussed on here involve LE intercepting the postman, pretending to be him/her, delivering the package, and waiting for you to come out and get it because of course everyone knows exactly when the postman comes by and has nothing better to do than sit around and wait. But what if you're, I don't know, a student who is gone from 9 am to 9 pm and couldn't check your mail right away even if you wanted to? Will the popo just sit there munching on donuts until you get home at 9 or 10 or midnight and have a look in your mailbox?
I read a comment where someone was saying that if you suspect a CD you should leave your mail in the box for a couple days because LE won't knowingly just leave drugs there. Supposing that's true, does anyone else think checking your mail late in the day / at night / a little while after it's delivered would throw a wrench in a CD? At least enough of a wrench to avoid getting handcuffed between your mailbox and front door.
