Wow, these stories y'all are giving are insane!  I know things are bad...but this really depresses me.

I just thought FedEx still had some integrity, you know?  ..Like the spokesperson quoted in the original post.

...I tried to apply with them once, and it was as if I were applying to the FBI.  They wanted to know where you'd lived, every month for the past ten years, etc.

How do lowlifes who would open packages for personal gain get in?  If they are so pressed to be productive, how do they have time to prise through packages and tape them over?

...I can't believe things have declined so rapidly in this country.

[b]I would agree with those who state you should report this to FedEx.[/b] This needs to be made more public, whatever the origin.

It's who usually work there for years that end up doing it. They learn the system and think they can't get caught.  Some don't and some do.

I'm a ups driver. I've never stole anything and none of the drivers I work with ever stole anything. We're just regular guys with a wife and kids like you doing our job and earning an honest living. Some of us are even GLP regulars.  So when you make claims accusing ups drivers of being criminals and breaking into your packages you sound like a small minded piece of shit!!  We don't give a fuck about what's inside your sorry ass package!  We're just trying to get done and get home to be with our family. The percentage of drivers with bad intentions is probably less than 0.01%. Out of hundreds of thousands of drivers that's not too bad. And ups/fed ex are private companies. No one is forcing you to use them. If you're so paranoid about your driver, go to Walmart to get your shit. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and stick to subjects you know about!  @JULES77

Great post. We get frequent packages from UPS and FedEx. We know the drivers and like them and speak with them.  They are exactly what you say.

Original Message 4th Amendment...what 4th Amendment?!?!?

The Obama administration is demanding the nation’s two biggest shipping companies police the contents of Americans’ sealed packages, and a FedEx spokesman is warning that the move “has the potential to threaten the privacy of all customers that send or receive packages.”

FedEx and UPS are in the Justice Department’s cross-hairs for not flagging shipments of illegally prescribed drugs the companies say they had no way of knowing were in their possession.

Criminal charges could be coming against the carriers, even though the government has not alleged any deliberate wrongdoing by the companies.

FedEx spokesman Patrick Fitzgerald said his company has a 40-year history of actively assisting the government crackdown on any criminal conduct, but he told WND this probe was very different from the start.

“What is unusual and really disturbing is it became clear to us along the way that FedEx was being targeted for some level criminal activity as it relates to these medicines that are being shipped from pharmacies, and we find it to be completely absurd because it’s really not our role,” Fitzgerald said. “We have no way of knowing what is legal and not within the packages that we’re picking up and delivering in this situation.”

“At the heart of the investigation are sealed packages that are being sent by, as far as we can tell, licensed pharmacies. These are medicines with legal prescriptions written by licensed physicians. So it’s difficult for us to understand where we would have some role in this. We are a transportation company that picks up and delivers close to 10 million packages every day. They are sealed packages, so we have no way of knowing specifically what’s inside and we have no interest in violating the privacy rights of our customers,” Fitzgerald said...
