In my country sending biohazard materials through the post is illegal. You need specially-licensed couriers to transport it. This is in fact a reasonable restriction. The same restriction that applies to explosives or nuclear materials.
There's also the very real problem of personal data security here, at many levels.
This sounds like a poorly conceived services ripe for exploitation.
- kjakm 6y agoCould you explain some of the risks you see? The service is run by the NHS (national health service) and materials are posted back in sealed containers + fixed in a box. The chance of the materials coming into contact with a postman are minuscule. He could jump on the package and it would likely stay in tact.
