I had a microwave burrito that I had put in the microwave and still was sealed in the wrapper before going to the airport ( it wasn’t that hot) and security was squeezing it and inspecting it like it was a nuclear bomb or something.

If we can't read it, so you can't.

For people who do not want to go to the twitter link, I held my nose and went there for you. Looks like a diskette with an Adult Manga game/movie or something of which only 50 are left.

Seems to be called "My Tsukhime Trial Edition: (月姫 体験版). The owner will file a report.

Please, if submitting twitter links, can you provide a summary too so we do not have to go there :)

This is staged and you can tell the box is opened by the way they poorly move the camera away from where it is in view each time. Pay attention to the moment before the scissors are grabbed and the box flaps open.

The camera moves away. It is deliberate misdirection, multiple times.

The shock is disingenuous and incredulous.

I am disappointed that grifting and manufactured rage bait like this is in the fp on hn. Rarely do I log in but can you not turn this place into a dump with low quality sensationalist content?

This is fraud being sold as malfeasance. No thanks

I want to feel bad, but shipping anything across borders is a huge gamble, or at least it feels like it these days.

One has to wonder if the customs agent even knew what a floppy is, as there’s an ever increasing chance they’d never seen one before.

You don't have to destroy things you don't know. In fact, it might even be dangerous.

In a follow-up tweet they show there is a sticker saying that DHL opened the box, too, seemingly before the US Customs. The tweet shows the image and reads: "So I found this label on the side of the box. Of course, the boxes were all left blank. Not sure anymore if this intentional destruction of property was the work of a @DHLexpress employee or @CBP employee…”.
