:Vp,
You are far from correct. First, if I buy insurance on my package and it fails to arrive or is delivered damaged, I am compensated. However, if I fail to buy insurance, then I am out of luck. Yet, that has nothing to do with delivering dangerous ordinances. I guarantee you the USPS has xray machines for its packages, as I am sure every other postal entity. As the phrase goes, ignorance of the law is not an excuse. Therefore, playing dumb to what you deliver is also not one. Companies can be held reliable if proper safety measures aren't in place. While I am not a lawyer myself, I promise you this is true.
Yes, the USPS x-rays their packages. That's why it's possbile to mail order a bunch of photographic film and have it delivered in still usable condition. Duh-uh.
