Will,

Then you better start preparing to stay home because as far as I know they
are already x-raying their packages (at least the air volume) because of
IATA regulations.

I have worked for UPS and other carrier for more then 18 years and all air
cargo gets scanned with scanners similar to the luggage scanners for
passenger cargo.

Use UPS ground to prevent it. To my knowlegde that is not being scanned.

Bas
