Strictly hypothetical...

[alexpgp]

So let's posit the following hypothetical situation.

In response to my routine question "Is there anything hazardous in the package?" that is asked of a customer who is dropping off a FedEx envelope, let's say I get the response, "Oh, just some anthrax powder."

When my head comes up wearing a face you don't ever want to see, the person says "Just kidding!"

Let's additionally hypothesize that this is said in front of witnesses.

[Poll #331273]It should be noted that right after the post-September-11 anthrax scare, we actually did have a client pull this stunt and ended up doing nothing... mostly.

Cheers...

It does seem dumb, until you realize that people like to send all sorts of things -- innocently -- through the mail (containers of hair spray, lithium batteries, bottles of stuff that turns out to be corrosive if the bottle breaks, etc.).

Recall that an airliner crashed in Florida several years ago because it was carrying some kind of oxygen source in the cargo hold.

Thanks for the comeback.

Cheers...
