: someone wrote that I should send it to myself snailmail. Is this meant
: to mean 3rd class? What exactly are the chance of the feds finding it?
Snail mail is electronic nickname for regular old an envelope and a stamp kind of mail. Mailing from Mexico is somewhat risky. Mailing to yourself in your own name is very, very, risky. If you mail it, mail it to your address (or get a PO box) but do not put your name on it. Do not sign for it if asked. In fact, if and when you get it, do not open it for many days so that if they come to your door you can say you don't know what it is and you were going to bring it back to the post office.
