cheaper I might agree with... but safer??

Let's put it this way. If you had a very valuable package that just
had to get there, would you take it to the post office or to Fed Ex?

When you go through airport security, would you feel safer in Boston
(where the screeners are federal employees) or in Haifa (where they
are private)?

I mail everything through USPS except for one or two times a year -- when
some sends me a prepaid mailer to return something. USPS does a fine job.
I've used "overnight" delivery in a couple of panics and they have never
missed.
