Snail mail ~ Third degree!

Yesterday I sent some Dvd's to America. Just 2 dvd's in a dvd box.
Had to fill out a huge green form with all personal info and dozens of statement lines to be signed saying what it was and was not! ID required.

was it digital discs.....yes
did it contain child pornography....NO!
what did it contain.....Documentary reptiles
was it dangerous material.....No
was it live animals....no
was it liquid....no
was it explosive....no
does the material have the potential to be used for explosive devices........
NO, not unless McGyver gets hold of it, or the proffessor from gilligans island!

WTH? I realise they try to combat terrorism etc, but how stupid is Akmed from alquada if he writes 'Yes' to any of the above? seriously?

Is your package ticking?.......Yes, if it stops, kiss your @$$ goodby !

You gotta love governmental beaurocracy!

Whats it like where you live if you send a parcel OS ? Do our governments want us living in fear?

After all that they'll probably open it and check it anyway.

Well they will certainly xray it, I hope it dosent damage the discs. The last time I sent discs there, I got the same thing, but they arrived ok and my freind didnt say it'd been opened.
Probly will be cold nosed by a few sniffer dogs aswell. Imagine if theres a trace of vegemite on the pack from my morning brekky toast? Dog goes nuts, what do they do?
If its a bomb dog do they blow it up?
