Shipping: How does a shipper (USPS, UPS, FedEx) detect if illegal items (narcotics, explosives, etc.) are being mailed?
I'm curious about how shipping companies like USPS, UPS, and FedEx detect if illegal items like narcotics and explosives are being mailed. Can you shed some light on that?
Yes, certainly. These companies use a variety of tools and techniques to detect illegal items in the packages they deliver. One common tool is x-ray machines that scan packages for any suspicious or illegal content. They also use sniffer dogs that are trained to detect explosives and narcotics in packages.
