USPS x-rays many packages - I’d venture almost all of them shipped from a major population center.

  Lead foil is a thing. https://www.amazon.com/lead-foil/s?k=lead+foil https://www.amazon.com/lead-foil/s?k=lead+foil

    This looks like a good way to get a package marked as suspicious, and suspicious packages have their contents searched.

      Until you DDoS the inspection framework. turns out the material is pretty cheap! Heck, I can pay for you to return the lead foil wrapping to be "environmentally conscious by taking on the onus for packaging recycling!" Doubling my in-flight noise ratio, and generating good press. You have to think big. You need people to open a package, inspect, and reseal it. I can make a dropshipping business, turn a profit, and swamp your unboxers to the point you stop trying. I'm not out to do that, so I wouldn't bother, but there are ways, and you'll be surprised the hijinks you can get up to when adversarial attack of infrastructure or process is done right. Quite a lot of modern systems that just werk do so because on the whole, people don't spend much time being dicks. Unfortunately, my brain seems to have a part that enjoys the challenge in its idle time. Measuring is hard. Especially when someone has their hand on the "noise" dial.

        This is quite off-topic from the fourth amendment workaround originally insinuated. I agree modern society depends on trust more than one may expect or wish. DDoSing the USPS to prove it doesn’t seem like a very pro-social idea, and I do like society.
