I heard this story, it seems to be nothing but a money grab. They went after UPS a while back as well. Pay us this money and the problem goes away. The US Government wants everyone to work for them for free. The US Gov wants banks, currency exchanges, doctors, lawyers everyone to tell on their customers, wants you to tell on your neighbors.
Guess what, the US Gov can do their own work and not forcably enlist others to do their job for them. Now if this is true that fedex as a company intentionally came up with policies to allow others to break the law then yeah thats a problem but its not Fedex's job to police what's in packages. They make you sign off saying they can essentially open anything for any reason. They do screen packages but how far are we going to make them go. Should they look in all my packages before inspecting them? thats not their job. Now this story you post about drivers meeting in empty lots maybe thats a rogue driver not following policy or doing something shady but unless it's a company wide thing I dont think Fedex should be responsible.
Also not sure why anyone would ship drugs with a shipping service who can open your packages on a whim without a warrant or probably cause vs sending USPS where though they may lose your package its a headache for them to open packages. On silkroad and other "online drug bazars" as they call them everyone ships USPS. Just do a quick google search on this subject matter anda million reddit threads pop up about it.
