Thinking of every inbound package as "extending the amount of border" is mission creep nonsense IMO - it's propaganda mostly for the benefit of legislators holding the purse strings. Regardless, it doesn't justify the extensive CBP expansion outside of mailrooms.

> Thinking of every inbound package as "extending the amount of border" is mission creep nonsense IMO - it's propaganda mostly for the benefit of legislators holding the purse strings. How is it mission creep? Isn't inspecting inbound packages (ie. "customs") literally part of "Customs and Border Protection"? >Regardless, it doesn't justify the extensive CBP expansion outside of mailrooms. There are many other plausible reasons for expanding CBP outside of mailrooms, eg. war on drugs, illegal immigration, terrorists, etc.
