It sounds more like something the CIA would do.

No. More like the KGB. No. The GOP. Could it have been Karl Rove, Haley Barbour and Chertoff? We need pictures.

How ironic that he comes from a country that in the 30s and 40s acted the same way-Nazi Germany!

NO ONE WILL TAKE PICTURES OF ANY POSTAL OPERATIONS. I do not want the crappy things we do to get out.

I hope he managed to send off a copy of the tape somehow?

Gestapo USPS tactics should not be tolerated!

pretty sad when "postal KGB" hassels the press. Makes you wonder what he saw and they are trying now to coverup. I assume that "freedom of the press" does not apply to USPS

Don't let this German journalist take pictures of USPS. German Postal Service will crater if they copy the ideas of processing, collecting and delivering mail. If they unionize with union workers they are guaranteed to collapse. Bust the unions and bring back respectability.

No wonder this happens. With the rent a cops that some of the post offices are now hiring instead of career officers that we used to have. Probably was one of our "officers" that has a "GOD" complex. Wait...that means that he will probably be promoted to management now too.

Were they management cuffs? Did they have fur?

Scroll down to "to protect and to serve"

Yup we got both postal inspectors and postal police. Some localities still have postal police offices and some don't. Just look in your phone books and see if your locality has them.

Good luck!

How ironic, the Postal Nazi Gestapo forces this German to give up his PICS. How has America changed. Who are the Nazis now in 2006.

A typical welcome by the po Nazis. 1939 Germany is still alive. If you're not with us you must be against us.
