Hmm. That's very interesting, that they would have the policy posted yet not enforce it. Makes me wonder even more just what exactly is going on.
If I'd known about the policy ahead of time, I would've brought my package down open, I guess. It didn't work out that way.
But yeah, any way you look at it, it sucks. If it isn't in fact a new Postal-Service-wide policy change to search all Media Mail packages, then it will be that much more difficult to change thr practice; Congress can do things on the federal level, but I'm not sure any elected has the authority to tell individual postmasters what to do. Still, bringing the issue to the attention of your Representatives and Senators can only be a good thing. (Well, unless they're wacky right-wingers and decide the USPS isn't being fascist enough...)
