So, I'm really annoyed about something. Maybe some other folks have experienced this too.
Earlier this week, I was in Hilo, and our own Hilo Artist, Layne Luna, gave me a few poster prints of his artwork. Not wanting to damage it on the plane, I decided to mail the stuff home in a poster tube, which Layne supplied. I brought it to the post office myself in Kona, put the plastic end caps on the tube, and had the mail clerk tape them both closed. I sent it "priority mail".
Well, yesterday, I received the tube, and BOTH plastic end caps had been removed, and clear plastic tape had been put over the ends instead....
Naturally, I said "WTF? and opened it up, only to find the poster edges all bent up.
So, is the post office now instructed to open packages to check for possible "terror related" things, or is this just a nosy Post office clerk looking to score some free stuff ?
I'm really annoyed about this. I feel like this is a gross invasion of privacy and mail tampering. So much for "freedom"....
Has anyone else experienced this kind of tampering from the Post Office ?
