"In the United States, there is no specific constitutional guarantee on the privacy of correspondence. The secrecy of letters and correspondence is derived through litigation from the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. In an 1877 case, the U.S. Supreme Court stated:

No law of Congress can place in the hands of officials connected with the Postal Service any authority to invade the secrecy of letters and such sealed packages in the mail; and all regulations adopted as to mail matter of this kind must be in subordination to the great principle embodied in the fourth amendment of the Constitution."

I don't think it is even legal what they want to do with USPS.

Also means, less offer, same buyer, more job for the offer remaining , more expensive for us.

Went to Parcel Hero's website and dug around a lot, concerning shipping to U.S. and found no mention of the stop act. You would think that it would be mentioned in big bold print as this would be great for their business? Something just doesn't seem quite right. Can't seem to make much sense of it all. Would like to know the source of this info. The info on the stop act on the web was very old, if this big bold act that many in congress opposed because of cost. And other countries opposed and threatened to block incoming US mail. It would cause an incredible backlog at US customs, which might be the case right now. There would be something current on the web, if it just went into effect recently. I think this applies more to large volume shippers. A person sending a small package to a friend in the US would certainly not have to jump through these hoops? Someone please make sense of this, Thanks-FF

May be I am to old and lost my optimist  , but this kinds of things have never being a good thing . If they do this, there will be a before and after . It is a really lame that they use the " war on drugs " to fuck everyone . lately, it is  easier to get a gun than a pain killer or an anti anxiety med , something is terrible wrong.  Of course, you can destroyed your liver and brain and use alcohol for pain , anxiety, insomnia, etc . May be that is what they want.

Most certainly...it has nothing to do with our health....if it did like you said there is enough evidence we have access to plenty of things that can harm us physically and internally. But it is obvious it has nothing to do with that, it's big p*h*@rma that's controlling the media to get what it wants. Doesn't that sound familiar to what happens when we want to enter particular countries for resources? The oblong box that sits in the corner of every living room becomes the tool to demonize an entire country or faith all for the sake of foreign interest. A bit off-topic but it's the same strategy they will use to get the public opinion to match their agenda.  It's nothing new, nothing drives an agenda better than when public opinion is on your side. All for the benefit of some elite somewhere to have control. Believe me, if that wasn't the case the govt could have cared less... look at the Peruvian c0c@in situation that was going on for decades... the US questions their govt saying your flooding our streets with dr*ugs and their response? "Your Govt (for the benefit of big ph@rm@ or whatever the reason)   is the major purchases of these products providing billions of dollars for it so who is doing what exactly?"  So it's never about our health, unfortunately... correct me, anyone, if  I may be wrong... listen to a track by Immortal Tech called *Peruvian C0c@!n* I don't listen to a lot of hip hop but if I do its underground lyrical and educational hip hop.
