well, this is going to seem completely retarded and random. Some friends and I were discussing about this person who made it in some wierd news thing who mailed them self home and they actually made it. The mail man noticed this as he was carrying the person to their door step, and he looked in the holes in the box. Now the thing we were debating about is if possible how could someone get away with mailing them self to or from one country to another. because of the security, and the issue of surviving. we were wanting to know some ideas and suggestions on how this could be accomplished. We were also wondering if people would help research to see if this sort of thing has been done before and if so does someone have the story?

this may be the same, or a similar incident.

okay that's just nuts. I don't think its ever been done before. as far as the issue of survival goes you would probably die.

Well, it really depends on weather or not the plane is pressureized or not. Also there is the idea that all packages are X rayed before they are sent on for travel. If it is strickly a cargo plane you might be in trouble. Also there is some restrictions depending on which country you are sending to. All I can say is it would take a large amount of luck.

Definitely a lot of luck, and I don't know how they would survive either...

I think I saw something about a college student who "mailed himself home.

That's definitely weird.

I think that's not for me, thanks.
