List of things customs looks for
The following is a list of things customs uses to screen for
suspicious parcels. A suspicious attribute of a parcel is called a flag.
A single flag is often not much of a problem, but the more flags a
package has the higher the chances it will be intercepted.
1.No return address
2.Restrictive markings (such as writing “Personal!” on the
envelope)
3.Misspelled words
4.Poorly typed or written text
5.Excessive postage
6.Addressed to an incorrect title
7.Sent from a foreign country
8.Sealed with tape
9.Emits a strange odor (Including masking agents such as coffee,
perfume and fabric softener sheets)
10.Lopsided, uneven, rigid, bulky or otherwise uneven weight
distribution
11.Oily stains, discolorations and crystallizations on packaging
12.Packaging appears to be re-used
13.Package looks generally poorly prepared for shipping
14.addresses are hand written
15.addresses contain mispelled information (such as names,
streets or cities)
16.Originate from a drug source state
17.Are addressed as being sent from an individual to an individual
18.Return address ZIP code does not match ZIP code of the post
office the package is being sent from
19.A fictitious return address is used
20.List a sender or receiver name of a common type (Such as John
Smith)
21.Make use of names that are not connected to either address
22.Package makes noise when shaken
23.Redistribution of weight is felt when package is moved or tilted
List of Ways customs uses technology to detect packages
1.Terahertz ray scanning
“illuminating a target envelope with tunable terahertz radiation and
analyzing the absorption spectra of the resulting image. The results
are cross referenced with a database of spectra to check for the
chemicals of interest.”
Currently it takes ten minutes to fully scan and analyze a single letter,
although increasing this speed to one minute per letter is in the grasp
of current technology. Even with this potential decrease in the
amount of time it takes to scan individual letters, this system could
not be implemented en masse without slowing the mail system down
to a screeching halt. It is much more likely that this technology will be
used to scan mail that has already been flagged by customs
personnel using other methods.
1. infrared and X-ray scanning
Infrared scanners and Xrays work fundamentally in the same way.
They are used to detect irregularities in envelopes or packages,
which is possible cause for further investigation by other more
precise means.
1.Drug dogs
Drug dogs are trained to detect even trace amounts of controlled
substances in the mail and are used by virtually all customs agencies
world wide. Despite their excellent ability to detect certain
substances, the overwhelming amount of mail in the system means
that they will not be able to sniff all mail. In addition to this, drug dogs
are not trained to smell the vast majority of existing psychoactive
substances, and due to the staggering number of said substances it
is virtually impossible that they ever will be.
1.Drug residue detectors
“traces of controlled substances are collected on a small filter held in
the end of a vacuum sweeper hose which has been previously tested
to insure no contamination. The instrument uses an analytical
technique in which the traces of controlled substances on the filter
are heated to vapors and ionized. The time required for the ions to
drift through an electric field is measured and the substances are
identified by the “drift” time through the electric field. ”
list of ways customs trace intercepted mail and gather evidence
1.Fingerprinting the outside and inside of a package
2.Handwriting analysis
3.Analyzing paper and ink
4.Analyzing type impressions
5.Forensic analysis of trace evidence (Adhesives, fibers, hair,
paint, paper, plastic, rubber, tape and insulation from safes).
6.Post office surveillance of individuals suspected of sending or
receiving drug mail
7.To bust recipients of intercepted drug mail, customs officials will
often dress as postmen and make an arrest after the suspect
accepts the package. Often times they will allow a few minutes
to pass in hopes that the suspect will have opened the package.
8.There are reports of tracking devices being hidden inside
intercepted packages when they are being sent to a safe
location such as fraudulently obtained PO boxes. The tracking
devices then follow the receipient back to their base location
where an arrest is later made.
Security tips for recipients
1.The best option for recipients it to use PO boxes or PMBs
obtained with fake identification. Mom and Pop box companies
often have poor security compared to franchises, for example
they are less likely to require photocopies of the ID and also are
less likely to have a camera system, or if they do have a camera
system it is probably very poor as compared to a big franchise
company. Recipients using PO boxes should wait for a lengthy
yet random period of time after the package arrives to attempt
retrieval. This waiting period dramatically decreases the
chances of being apprehended as prolonged surveillance is very
expensive. Disguising efforts should be utilized when retrieving
packages, and test runs should also be attempted.
2.Another excellent option is to have packages sent to abandoned
buildings or houses. The same security methods should be
applied as when using a fraudulently obtained mail box.
3. If a recipient must have a package delivered to a place
connected with them, they should ensure said place is clean
between shipments. Clean houses of friends can also be used.
Upon receiving a package to a place with connections to the
recipient, they should not open it and write return to sender on
it. After several days, then the package is safe to be opened.
Recipient should NEVER select to have shipping methods which
require a package to be signed for.
4.Regardless of the place the package is delivered, the recipient
should opt the quickest shipping method possible so long as a
signature is not required. This way if their are delays in
shipping, it can alert the recipient, and it will require any
interceptor to rush getting warrants prepared before a
suspicious delay in package delivery is noticed. Tracked mail
with out delivery confirmation is an excellent option, as the
recipient can follow the status of the package online (using Tor!)
and can be alerted if the package is held by customs for a
prolonged period of time.
lol one pretty funny but cool method to receive the package i ve heard of, if you live somewhere in a country side, is to nail extra mail box on the tree or build it on the side ,lets say close to some other mail boxes and wright a number on it lets say street Rotary way dr. has mailboxes 233 234 235 ,you can put one extra mail box 235A that you will build yourself,and if the mail directed there ,the mail man doesnt care much he would just drop it there ,i havent tryed it myself but sounds like an interesting idea .

Kind of like the idea of the fake mailbox. Would work best in a rural area (as you said) where the mailboxes are all grouped together not in front of any one house.
Not easy to put up a mailbox though. One must dig a post which is hard to do in rocky soil.
Somehow I think a fake address could be considered a federal offense maybe? Not sure.

So I guess the one I put up right off the state route, on the dirt road (with seven others) at the begining of another dirt road, in the other county is takin it a bit far? ...
I'm not aware of any law that would prohibit you from putting up a mailbox anywhere you want to get mail... I'm also not aware of a limit on how many different addys you can have..
No matter...
Still get junk mail...

Do not have your mail sent to an abandoned or empty house thinking you can pick it up. 9 times out of 10 this will not work. The postman usually knows what houses are lived in and which ones are not and will send back mail sent there. An apt building with many units might slide by but normally you need a key to open the mail box
It is not easy to get a pmb without id, its almost impossible. At one time it could be done but they have cracked down on that a whole bunch. There are terrorists you know.
Have it sent to you in your name with no sig required. Then leave it in the mailbox and take it in later. If anyone comes around asking if you got anything suspicious in the mail, hand it over. The jig is up at that point and handing over an unopened letter will cut you some slack. May get you off the hook completely. Other than that I agree with everything in the post. Good post

Busy around the farm I often just tape a message with my name address and signature and tell them to put inside screen door? With no criminal record, an expired legit script, and just class4 meds, if LE got involved it would be a slap on the wrist. I bet 25% of Americans use benzos on occasion. Thanks Bio for the effort you put into some useful advice. Maybe a bit paranoid but I am with you, Thanks and Best to You ff
well thats just some guide lines that will give us a little bit more knowledge..but honestly the drug state whe its reffered to USA state there is nothing to worry about domestic mail from my knowledge is mostly safe ...now international yes some countries like Pakistan obviously those package call for more attention then other ones ...i guess its always a little bit of risk invoved no matter what .thank you for stopping by and dropping a word Fisfarmer.

Interesting information, thanks for posting. I do, however, get the feeling that most of the screening criteria are geared toward intercepting the higher schedules, don't you?

Also, the day they put sniffer dogs trained to detect benzos on the job at each hub, we are all finished!
Anyone ever see the Mythbusters "Hair of the Dog" episode?

Interesting thread, I will need to read more when I have time.
The part about receiving is tough since most i have dealt with have tracking that require signatures.
I try to keep my orders smallish so I don't get labeled a dealer if I ever do get snatched.
years ago I did get a couple of notices about orders get confiscated, I remember the letter saying I could claim the package
if I chose to with proper paper work. lol right!!
