Well... if it cuts the number of guns shipped in parts, illicit drugs, cuts the trade in endangered species (eggs, reptiles and birds) not to mention hazardous nasty stuff in parcels starting with anthrax or parcel bombs... I'd have to say yes, small price to pay. The shipping for the small parcel I received today via FedEx cost $40 so frankly i don't see why not and its not harebrained; far from it.
I'm actually quite surprised it hasn't dawned on the IS nutters to send nasty parcels to random addresses en-mass, via the international post. Mass-marketting CD's full of millions of valid names and addresses are easily obtained thanks to the likes of Brylar OnLine.
Would be quite effective at paralysing a lot of online trade.
