And you thought Northwest's employees were cranky

From the Times of London, the British Post Office (just called "The Post Office in the article, which I love. Even Americans abbreviate to the USPS) is considering the sale of package travel, along with stamps and the like. I am not familiar with the British Post, but it is instructive to consider how gargantuan a failure that would be, if it were introduced in the US: ending up at the wrong destination, getting all roughed up as you go through security, &c.

Shudder. To be fair, flying out of LGA is already pretty similar to visiting the US Post Office, to say nothing of Terminal 3 at Kennedy. That's closer to the Greyhound shipping office at the Port Authority.
