I don't know what happens in the handoff between Fedex & USPS, but I
can tell you it is highly unlikely that USPS employees are splitting
up your goodies. Mu brother is an electronics technician in a major
USPS sorting facility, and the security is very tight. Occasionally,
someone does get tempted to skim some stuff, but, since there are
security cameras looking at pretty much every square inch of the
building (and those are the cameras you can see, there are,
undoubtedly more cameras that are hidden), the perpetrator gets led
out of the building in handcuffs.


USPS has their own federal LEO; the Postal Inspectors.


Has anyone here ever -seen- one of these mythical USPSPI beasties?

There was a TV movie, The Inspectors, based on them in 1998. Lou
Gossett played one. He's had a helluva life: 160 programs (so far) in
his acting career. Good actor!
