When you absolutely, positively need pot overnight…
FORT MYERS: A Fedex employee's suspicion led to yet another marijuana bust in Southwest Florida.

The employee was delivering a package to a Cape Coral home and noticed it was vacant.

So they brought the package back to the Fedex office, where a manager opened it and discovered close to 20 pounds of marijuana inside.

1. They opened the package?
That's comforting.

But I suppose the innocent have nothing to fear from Fedex Managers.

6. It's in the Terms Of Service...
buried in all the fine print on the back of the airbill. It's not uncommon at all.

2. No such thing as forwarding the package?
or return to sender... It had to be opened?

4. The article also states:
Fedex policy states the company has the right to open and inspect any package.

5. Even the USPS will open mail if they have no valid addressee or return address
It usually takes weeks, but they do open mail to try and see if there is an address or clue to the owners inside.
