No doubt, although I may have less trouble if I ship to a Hong Kong hotel
before going into the mainland - all I will be doing is missing the X-Ray
machines in Denver and Los Angeles. I won't be able to eliminate
exposure, just reduce it as much as possible.
My point with FedEx regards a hypothetical situation. *If* they were to
start scanning packages, it would make sense to scan packages that have a
higher probability of being dangerous. This would include, for example,
packages dropped off at a FedEx or Mail-Boxes-'R-Us type location. It
would exclude a large shipper, say B&H, shipping from their own
location. I would expect that you would raise red flags were you to use
B&H's FedEx number while shipping from an unrelated location.
