how do post offices/container ships prevent human trafficking (literal humans in boxes)?

Question

How would they know a human (under narcotics) is in the big heavy box? Can they know? Are there scans performed on big cargo?

I assume for container ships it gets heavy checks because it’s usually going overseas, but what about packages sent within the same country? Is it just unnecessary to do it this way because cartels can move them by car themselves?

Answer 1

Try picking up a 10kg bottle, and a 10kg weight, that’s generally why post offices don’t need to care.

Container ships are randomly screened, and often have xray or just require the ability to open the container if necessary, so you’re risking a lot.
