Question: Do I fear the Ferals more than I fear the Federals?. The problem is, the "Federals" are feral.

re>My question is why didnât they go after UPS? The guy clearly marked ground but they ignored his request and shipped it per air anyway, knowing probably what was in it.
Just checking the box for ground in this case not enough. Did UPS know what was in it? Special labels are required on the package (by the shipper/not UPS) and I would bet there is regulations on the packaging of such a material. Also a special permit and trainings required BY UPS and Fed x.

“then the government managed to convince twelve jurors of his guilt. “
Given that a lot of people — too include some FReepers — brag about getting out of jury duty, it is not surprising that the jurors impaneled are easily led by the government/prosecutor.

One of the most quoted passages because it is one of the most true . . .

Nobody ships 10 tons of anything point-to-point via UPS. No one even HAS 20,000 lbs of sodium!
though a nuclear reactor might!

Didn’t the article say he checked the “ground” option with FedEx, and that FedEx then shipped via air?

Afterwards, he put the rest of the jar away in a cabinet in the classroom. And it was in a jar filled with kerosene; too.
Right?

Afterwards, he put the rest of the jar away in a cabinet in the classroom. And then there was the day that iodine crystals were added to ammonia, the purple precipitate filtered out and left to dry...

The point of the article is administrative regulations that carry criminal penalties do not take criminal intent into mind. You can be arrested, tried, convicted and sent to prison for a crime you didn’t know you committed and its perfectly legal.
There are so many regulations on the books no one can possibly know all of them or figure out how to comply with them. Even if you’re careful, you inevitably end up breaking some of them because if you literally obeyed them, nothing would get done.
To stop overcriminalization, we need to include a mea rens intent in applying administrative regulations and the government has to prove you willfully and recklessly violated them to harm others or defraud someone, not just an honest mistake. As it stands, we’re all guilty because there is no way we can’t break some rule. Its true “ignorance of the law” is no excuse but no one can possibly know every law. Its impossible.

May I suggest this model instead which handled 38 at a time? It was successfully tested in Mankato, Minnesota less than three years earlier.

No one even HAS 20,000 lbs of sodium! According to the link posted back at #44, the EPA says he had 10 metric tons of it.

He was convicted of abandoning it. He was acquitted of charged relating to shipping.

...the government managed to convince twelve jurors of his guilt. Or the presiding judge convinced the jurors that "The law is what I say it is, and I say the law says the defendant is Guilty!".

"...FAA regulations prohibit passengers ...on cargo flights."
Uhhh, noooo. Alaska Airlines, for one, operates 'combi' aircraft - half cargo, half passenger.
