Current Terrorism and Comments [This is REALLY NOT funny :(]

I worked as a temporary during peak season at UPS in Louisville, Kentucky, because years before ,UPS was my college job. At UPS (who stopped shipping Eddie Bauer period) they loaded United States Postal Service cardboard crates in kiosks along with very, very (extremely) heavy metal packages which were then transported by UPS Air to various countries. The United States Postal Service did not stop this. The metal packages and etc. were not being examined by "US Customs" although there were parking spots on the premises marked as "US Customs". Maybe the FBI needs to get a warrant and examine some of these UPS policies up close and personal if there are 'suspicious packages' which are then seen as bomb threats. UPS also sent employees to any location free 'for vacation' according to informants there if they traveled on the freight planes.  NPR (National Public Radio) is running a story that is copesetic today and aligned with this, about current terrorism.  See NPR for the full story.  The caption under the photograph appears below:

"Security is in evidence at Duesseldorf International Airport in Germany on Saturday. Authorities on three continents thwarted multiple terrorist attacks aimed at the United States from Yemen, seizing two explosive packages addressed to Chicago-area synagogues and packed aboard cargo jets. The plot triggered worldwide fears that al-Qaida was launching a major new terror campaign."
