“Under this climate of terror, just the bulk of the package alone represents a threat.”
Yup. Bulky packages are out. Or, at least, they can get you charged with misdemeanor aggravated harassment in New York, if some bubblehead erroneously screams “bomb” and the police have to be roused off their donut-padded asses to poke at them for a few hours.
Because, remember, it doesn’t matter what you intended. It doesn’t matter what a reasonable person would think. It only takes the Least Common Denonimator of witlessness to get someone accusing you of terrorism. Next come the rubber hoses and the internment camp.
Good thing Margie’s birthday gifts have already arrived. They were all kind of bulky. Be a shame if she were to claim harrassment from me.
Nice rant on the subject from the home of the Moody Bitch herself, Blogatelle.
