How is FedEx supposed to know what is in the packages it is shipping. This is another preposterous indictment, where the government is overstepping it's bounds, wanting private companies to do its jobs.

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?!

Color me confused...FedEx indicted on federal charges for transportation of illegal substances. Yet, the federal government is knowingly and willingly failing to enforce it’s own federal laws concerning the sale and possession of schedule 1 controlled substances. Not to mention the failure to enforce it’s laws regarding what constitutes a legal pharmacy. “Internet” pharmacies do not meet the strict criteria of pharmacies and cannot show documented evidence of a patient/doctor relationship. I seriously doubt anyone involved in internet pharmacy holds a graduate degree from any accredited school of pharmacy and has passed NABPLEX. But WTH, it’s just laws and who cares?

Could somebody explain this bit of lunacy to me?

But the indictment alleges that the company continued to distribute controlled substances and prescription drugs on behalf of the Chhabra-Smoley Organization and Superior Drugs. They did so even after officials knew they had been closed down by state and federal law enforcement agencies and that their owners, operators, pharmacists, and doctors had been indicted, arrested and convicted of illegally distributing drugs, it said.

How do you deliver packages for a company that is no longer in business?

Congress votes for a bill so they can find out what’s inside, but Fedex is supposed to know what’s inside a box?

At crash rescue school I was taught that FedEx was the largest transporter of hazardous materiel in the world.
And most of it was label as something else to save money on shipping.

FedEx non union and deep pockets.
Is there anyone tracking the huge penalties and fines the DOJ is collecting? ($7B from Citi, $13B from JPM just this week)

I miss the rule of law. Why would FedEx have the responsibility or even the right to question the contents of packages? While some must contain prescription drugs, I suspect others contain supplements that are not regulated. While I will not buy from questionable online dealers, I don’t think it’s FedGov’s business to interfere in this manner - it’s the customer’s choice. Obama and his minions disgust me.

FedEx is a successful company with loads of dough. It’s time to squeeze FedEx for that dough. Also, FedEx is non-union and the Democrat Party has to pay off on its debts to the Unions. If FedEx announced, it was going to unionize, this prosecution would disappear in a minute.

Obviously the desired outcome of this is the Obamunists want to force Fedex and other private carriers to give them the right to inspect all packages.
