customs and post

[F Murtz]

What would show up on the xray screen with an antistatic bag inside an
envelope from Greece containing a hall effect doover?
I received it with "opened by customs"on the envelope and a screed
inside saying that dogs or xray gave them cause to suspect bio hazards.
(hall effect ignition trigger)nothing to do with my post.

It could've been residue on the outside of the package, perhaps picked up
when it brushed another package in transit which contained something
prohibited?

I've had a couple of packages processed by customs in that fashion, both
from China (one containing mobile 'phones and the other containing
software), and both with no cause for concern.

Depending on the density of the metal coating on the antistatic wrapping
it may block the scan , so as a precaution it gets opened . Simples
