p.s. and Marcia, as far as I could discern this new rule applied to all outbound media packages -- international, domestic, or otherwise.

This would appear to conflict with the relevant USPS regulations for international shipments:

-------------------
284.3 Sealing
284.31 Requirements
All international parcels must be sealed.

284.32 Sealing Materials
Senders must seal their own parcels. Wax, gummed-paper tape, nails, screws, wire, metal bands, or other materials may be used to seal parcels. The seal must be sufficient to allow detection of tampering.

I can't believe that the postal clerk demanded that you violate regulations and unseal an international package.
