For example, a nearby post office, located in a federal building. Cameras are believed to be a security risk so they're not allowed in the building - at least cameras not in boxes. I've shipped cameras and lenses from this post office, have recieved the same in my P. O. Box. The people operating the x-ray machines recognize the items as camera components but as long as they pass through the building's entrance in a box there's no problem. If it's not in a box, it's not allowed (camera phones included). How much thought does it take to realize that cameras can be taken out of boxes?
