Is gear safe through domestic mail?

[artrius]

If someone were to send me some gear within the continental US, how safe from the DEA or whatever would that be? I'm not sure what kind of package monitoring they do inside the US.

Thanks,
Art

Well, if it's sent USPS, the gov. needs a warrant to open the package; however, if the sources' outgoing mail has been tagged then no matter the case you'll probably get a CD. Overall, it's A LOT safer then int. and much more secure.

So with an unflagged address, could you give me a general % or odds of trouble with the law? Of course, I mean just a ball park estimate, I know you can't possibly know for sure. I'm just hoping it's less than 10% of the time.

I don't know a true % since I don't work for the PO, but I can tell you that it's in the 95%tile IF everything is clean (source clean/you're clean) and you're not getting crack or something stupid in the mail.

Yes I'd say it would be in the 90% range. As long as they know what their doing you shouldn't have no problem.

check with mods and make sure the source is good to go, alot of domestic sources have gone down as of late from what i hear.
