Federal Express was indicted Thursday on federal charges alleging that it distributed prescription drugs and other controlled substances to people that the company knew had no prescriptions on behalf of illegal Internet pharmacies.
"We want to be clear what's at stake here: The government is suggesting that FedEx assume criminal responsibility for the legality of the contents of the millions of packages that we pick up and deliver every day,” said Patrick Fitzgerald, a senior FedEx official. “We are a transportation company -- we are not law enforcement. We have no interest in violating the privacy of our customers. We continue to stand ready and willing to support and assist law enforcement. We cannot, however, do the job of law enforcement ourselves."

I won't even go to where the government is so interested in keeping a few people from getting a few prescription drugs that they maybe shouldn't be getting, while letting drug smugglers and gang members across the Mexican border without blinking an eye.
What is the priority here?!
C.O.N.T.R.O.L.
What is the priority here?!
This is the priority-

Is U.S.P.S being prosecuted also??
Thought not.
Was the U.S. Postal Service also indicted?
You beat me to the same question.
“What is the priority here?!”
“C.O.N.T.R.O.L.”
The priority is chaos. The people will tire of the chaos, and demand it be stopped.
Then there will be “C.O.N.T.R.O.L.”
You are both right, it IS about CONTROL — Alinksy tactics, created chaos, which will justify control — FULL control.
At least FedEx didn’t bend over for .gov like most all of the telecoms did.
No Shiite. ..
And even if FedEx knew what was in a package, how in the world would it know the recipient didn’t have a prescription for it, as the article claimed? What, FedEx has access to our medical records? Preposterous!
Does this mean that the U.S. Postal Service verifies that everyone receiving medications by mail has a valid prescription? Don't count on it.
I would not be a bit surprised to find out that Fedex has been found guilty of donating to the wrong party/politicians, and this is the response.
I l already know that Fedex is on Lefty hit lists for "tax dodging", along with Exxon, Chevron, and other companies they love to hate.
Doesn’t FedEx contribute heavily to conservative causes?
I’ve heard they do, unlike UPS.
There’s the answer.
This looks more like someone wants a government agency created just to once again but into peoples private business and draw a federal government employee paycheck and the political clout of heading such an agency.
We rely on FED EX several times a month for medical needs. Also just because a product comes from an on line pharmaceutical company doesn't mean it is only sending Meds or even illicit ones. Diabetic testing supplies, Ostomy supplies, wound bandages, etc are also ordered and shipped on line. Suppliers use FED EX because they are cheaper and most of the time faster. When you're dealing with temperature sensitive medications time matters.
Apparently they didn’t give enough money to democrat candidates.
Isn’t FedEx in competition with the Post Office?
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution.”
Dr Ferris’s comment to Hank Reardon is also applicable.
