Indiana police have dogs that sniff specifically for cash at the US’s 2nd biggest FedEx hub, then they simply keep the money (eu.indystar.com)

(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?

That's your takeaway from this story?!

People can take two things away at once. Indiana is just as corrupt as ever (but in this fun new flavour!) and the reason you use USPS over another carrier is that USPS has federal protections and UPS/FedEx have none of those (and also they are bootlicking scum)

Your response seems to be "why don't people use the government backed service" and not "wholy shit I live in a Kleptocracy"

It seems to be a combination of victim blaming (thier fault for not shipping with USPS) and the normalization of tyranny (if the states ever wanted to water that liberty tree now would be a good time).

Again, people can have multiple takeaways to a story, like:

It's advisable to use USPS as they have federal protections for the customer that UPS/FedEx do not
Indiana is a terrible place full of corrupt bullshit like this
Op doesn't know what victim blaming is
The US is a kleptocracy
