[QUOTE="TUT, post: 1167572, member: 29298"] Medication is regulated as well. I can also tell you some wine ships out as olive oil to get around state laws. I can tell you that the carriers in their agreements put the full onus on the shipper to be in compliant with the laws of shipping alcohol and they are the sole party responsible if they break the law and are fined. I can tell you there are 10's of thousands of medications, some that don't require a prescriptions, some not even FDA approved but still legal (see TV offers). How in the wide world of sports is a driver supposed to know that what the shipper says in the box is correct? That the recipient has a valid prescription? Even if a driver opened it, they'd have to be a pharmacists. And if for some reason one is stuck on this thinking this control can really work, then why aren't they up and down on USPS, they ship more illegals than UPS and Fedex combined. It's a witch hunt, and as some posters stated, UPS was basically blackmailed into paying 40 Million or whatever it was, that can't be right either. Then on a whole other plane, this is right up NSA bugging everything, it's a police state action. So if they can come up with a new method for medication, then so be it, expect to pay a lot more. But to go back and fine carriers over something they've been working hand and hand with the gov't on, it's maddening to be back stabbed like that. I think the simplest fix is to go after and shut down/fine the companies if they are US based, duh. If Intl, then the US govt should give the carriers a list of Intl Pharmaceuticals that are illegal to pick up from and if they don't follow that FINE THEM. Don't those two make more sense, going to the source, not the middle man? There are two groups to blame and that is the seller and the buyer, totally not the carrier which has the pieces concealed in a shipping box. And if you do all this, why just stop with medication? Why not move it into possible acts like espionage docs (how do we know that letter isn't carry top secret data on it?), weaponry, illegal drugs etc. You cannot take paper work at face value, you need to open every single box and check it against all the laws of the land. That metal pipe fitting, might actually be a grenade, how do you know unless you look? It is just an idiotic possibility. [/QUOTE]
