[Vision2020] "Friends at Freeze Community Church" Package Reported to Post Office as "Suspicious"

[Moscow Cares]

I'm not talking about the packaging, Darrell.  I am talking about the DVD itself . . . or, to be more specific, the video.

Once in possession of the DVD, I intend on examining its properties thoroughly and publicly posting my documented findings . . . before I post the video itself publicly.

Any package that is from an unknown origin, no return address, and unsolicited, should not be opened, it seems to me, unless somehow verifying the contents.  It would even be easy to fake the official appearing post office code, lettering, etc. to make it appear as though it came through the US mail, when it did not, when the package was placed in a mailbox by whoever...

I requested that the packages be "returned to sender," but the post office employee said the packages would then be thrown away, not returned to sender.  She advised I throw them away, if I don't want them.  I was going to ask if there was any legal means of the post office supplying the identity of the individual or individuals who sent this mailing, but refrained from pushing the issue this far.
