I dont understand that behavior - what if I just send the device via fedex/dhl? It will cross the border unchecked and I can pick it up on the other side.

  ?? Who told you packages are not checked? Of course they are. Twice I ordered harddrive from USA to be shipped to Europe (10TBs are much cheaper than buying in EU) and twice it had attached huge brochure that my electronic device was inspected and images might be done and while they don't believe they damaged it, if I have issues with it, I should call.

    They can image the device, or possibly even refuse it entry if they can't read the contents, but they cannot detain, harass or otherwise coerce the owner of said device while it's in the mail. Mailing an encrypted hard drive is likely reasonably safe with regard to unauthorized access to its contents.

    > Who told you packages are not checked? Of course they are. Could you ship it in a large crate? Based on the video below these don't appear to be checked. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbTOHITC_xY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbTOHITC_xY
