Fedex, and do you have an FBI file?

May 20, 2005 ( politics )

The ACLU has a cute quiz on things that are likely to get you into an FBI file somewhere. Among them is this gem;


Have you ever sent a package using FedEx?
You might think your privacy is ensured, but you should know that FedEx maintains its own deputized police force and is part of a Joint Terrorism Task Force. We don't yet know what kind of information FedEx is sharing with the FBI and other law enforcement officials, but given what we know about JTTF activity, we thought you'd want to know about the relationship.

FedEx has a deputized security force?? How can I get one? Can any corporation get their internal security deputized? Just what we need -- Wally World rent-a-cops with actual authority...

Maybe you should take the quiz yourself?
