[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1059051, member: 29298"] I don't see that at all. If there is no regulation (which I don't know) then you can't expect anyone to invent requirements for themselves that aren't needed. That doesn't mean they don't do anything at all, ever. I know local pkg retailers have called the carriers on questionable packages and sometimes turn a blind eye and sometimes follow through, again what is the regulation for turning a blind eye? For example back to wine, you need ABC licenses to ship state by state and those have to be handed over to the carriers to keep on file. There is a well defined process there and the carriers know it, now if they fail to comply, then you are correct, they should have to pay that price. But do we know if there is a regulatory board for this? What is the process for knowing if medication A is legal or medication B is illegal? Where is the regulatory board for simply allowing these places to exist? In wine, they keep track of movement routinely and will alert any carrier/shipper when there is an issue of concern. I don't see this proper structure here at all or any article talking about what regulations that are in place that the carriers aren't abiding to. It sounds as if the carriers simply have to know these things without any guidelines or regulations in place, that doesn't pass the smell test to me. Now on another note... You mention prosecution, in violation of the law. Now if you believe that illegal drugs are bad (because hey who knows who made them and with what), then you do agree gov't and regulations are needed. I say this as there are some amongst us that feel gov't and regulation is the root of all our economic problems today. However I know it's a necessity because way too many people are scammers and black market feeders and without regulations it would be many times worse then what we have today. How those against gov't and regulation keep forgetting that human trait, is so far beyond me. There is a proper balance in all of this and extremes either way (like about everything in life) is no good. [/QUOTE]
