The Japan Post Services Co, the Japanese postal service, has announced that no more airmail packages over one pound will be permitted for shipment into the U.S., as a result of new TSA regulations, the rule applies to everyone except for large corporate mailers which are exempt. But the rules do not apply only to Japan. Apparently, reports Natural News, the TSA has requested that no foreign country be permitted to send air packages weighing over a pound into the U.S. because of perceived security threats, unless the postal carriers follow strict and tedious new screening rules to verify sender and receiver.
I smell a Cass Sunstein "nudge" here again. The TSA doesn't outright ban shipments. They just "nudge" postal services into not providing the service, because of the onerous screening rules.
