- This is how some acquaintences used to do it:
- The material is packed and sealed with gloved hands (the plastic gloves
- from bulk-food places might do). The package is sent first class, with
- a false return address. There is no material inside to indicate source,
- i.e. a letter, newspaper, etc.
- This is so that the package cannot be traced to its sender. The false
- name and return address are preferable to having no return address. The
- standard procedure for the USPS's entrapment of consumers of drugs and
- pornography is to hold the package for pickup. I don't know why picking
- up a box makes a recipient liable when a recipient is not liable for
- any other kind of unsolicited mail, but there it is. The false name is
- used so that the recipient can call about a package and not pick it
- up if it is not a name he recognizes.
- Pragmatically, if the package is left on a doorstep, the USPS doesn't
- know what's in it. If the package doesn't leave the post office, the
- USPS _might_ know what's in it.
- As for how to wrap the stuff so that it can go undetected, I have
- know idea. Several layers of freezer-grade ziplog bags (they have
- thicker plastic) might work. I was never involved in these mailings.

- SAN ANTONIO (UPI) -- Boston Celtics center Robert Parish apologized to
- his team and fans Saturday, one day after he received a summons charging
- him with possession of five ounces of marijuana.
- [...]
- ``We are comfortable that the marijuana was for personal use and not
- for distribution, and the search was not the result of an ongoing
- investigation of Mr. Parish,'' said Kurt Schwartz, a spokesman for the
- Middlesex District Attorney's office.
- ``We received some information concerning a package delivered to
- Parish's home and we were duty-bound to follow up on it.''
- Police in Weston received information about a package, addressed to
- Parish, after a routine check with a narcotics dog at a Federal Express
- shipping facility in San Francisco.
- Schwartz said it is standard procedure to have the package shipped
- and then obtain a search warrant.
