I copied this post from another private forum I am on. This was posted a couple days ago. The thread started by a member getting his adex seized by USPS and receiving a strange letter on his door.
"U.S. Postal Inspection Service’s Contraband Interdiction and Investigation Group received fresh funding this year. They also were given access to ATF resources and were given space in a few fusion centers.
The opioid epidemic has increased scrutiny on domestic parcels especially when sent express. Starting in 2016 the PI service began resource sharing with a few three letter agencies. If you look at seizure rates in the PI annual report you will see that during that time domestic parcel seizure went up 750%. To make matters worse at the beginning of 2019 the national forensics lab in Dulles, VA as well as 22 other evidence processing facilities throughout the us were given brand new package imaging hardware and postal inspector agents were required to attend a 45 hour block of fresh training on new technologies and methods for identifying suspicious or dangerous parcels.
The office for the postal inspector general also announced that in conjunction with over 150 law enforcement agencies this year they will be more than tripling their mobile mail screening events. In 2018 they held around 10 of these events screening an average of 26,000 parcels. Dhs’s national operations center has also pledged its help over the next few years.
I work for ATF and our office is literally right next to DHS and the PI service also is here regularly using the shared resources of the fusion center. I can tell you with certainty that by 2021 you won’t be getting shit through USPS."
