Hopefully it wasn't somebody from here!

I like to think that any reputable vendors on SR are better educated in the mailing arts than that.

ah, that is just sad.... where is the professionalism?

Yeah, the article doesn't specify if the people receiving got arrested. And the one case sounds like someone narced on the guy, in addition to the really bad packaging/return addresses.

This is a great find!
It definitely validates some widely-given advice about how to prepare packages; namely using real names and addresses. Listing a pot dispensary as the return address is just plain stupid.
Interesting that the postal service doesn't have their own dogs, they had to borrow them from the airport police.
I'm not sure we should read so much into the "confidential informant." According to the Justice Department's CI guidelines (http://www.justice.gov/ag/readingroom/ciguidelines.htm), a CI can be a narc or someone like a phone company employee disclosing information from a phone tap in response to a secret warrant or National Security Letter, or even another Postal Inspector operating secret equipment or using confidential intelligence-gathering techniques.

tearghoa- you picked up on the same things I did. two critical issues 1) the narc and 2) the package smelling of weed.
I dated a girl who lived few blocks down from that address in MN. it was so weird. thought it was her at first.
