no, but they have machines, and local police deprtments are on site for narcotics, and explosives dectection.

EDIT from another person:

actually, i used to work at a large UPS hub in a mid-sized city for a few months during college. i never once saw any local, state, or federal law enforcement there. nor did we have any "machines" (whatever that means). packages were brought in on the brown box trucks, thrown onto a belt, scanned, and thrown into a trailer for transport (either local or long-haul). never once were the contents of a package inspected or checked unless it was leaking or if it had a hazmat label. even stuff sent through air sort were never checked; the only thing that mattered was weight. UPS is too concerned with getting stuff off the truck and onto a truck that they have no time to inspect those packages. that's how things were at my terminal. your mileage may vary, and I'm not saying that's how it is at all hubs.

i worked at a ups hub in a mid-sized city for a while during college. i never once saw dogs or law enforcement there. i worked as an unloader, loader, then in air sort. nobody even questioned packages unless they were leaking or had a hazmat label (and then all we did is check paperwork). I'm not saying that's how it is at all terminals; i can only speak for the one i worked at.

be careful though... those packages sometimes burst or leak, no matter how well they are packaged. if i saw something while i worked there, i would have no option but to report it. if the package is small, assume that it is going to be thrown in the back of a trailer (top crushable).

By federal law they have to. It's a transportation company, and the DOT makes them do it.

Is stealing a piece of mail sent via Federal Express a crime?

FedEx and UPS shipments are not legally considered "mail." That designation applies only to the items handled by the US Postal Service. Shipments via FedEx and UPS (and other private companies) are shipped by "common carrier" and are considered "interstate shipments" under the jurisdiction of the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), just like freight. Stealing Anything is a CRIME!
