Drugs in the Mail is really neither here or there, a postal mail piece in transit is not allowed to be opened by anybody even a Policeman, the procedure is to inform the Police if drugs are suspected in a packet and its down to them whether they question the recipient once the item has been deliverd as addressed

The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
