          I just saw it in the local news and I can't find any info anywhere on the web. What the hell?
          It's supposed to take effect Monday 15 Nov, all international Post offices can ship air shipments only smaller than 1lb.
          Larger shipments have to be sent via road/sea - 20-30 day ETA.

          This is the only thing I could find. No international news is talking about it.
          Airforwarders Association calls on White House for global collaboration on air cargo security

          Prior to this week’s G20 Summit in Seoul, Korea, the Washington, D.C.-based Airforwarders Association (AfA) sent a letter to President Barack Obama replete with suggestions on how the Administration could best work on making improvements and changes to air cargo security processes in light of the October attempts by terrorists to send explosives originating from Yemen to the United States on cargo and passenger planes.

              Seems it only applies to shipments from Yemen?

              DHS Security Janet Napolitano said in a statement that DHS has ordered a ground halt on all cargo shipments coming from Yemen, and she also said that TSA has directed air cargo carriers to begin implementing additional precautionary security measures for international flights inbound to the United States.

              These measures include banning all air cargo from Yemen, as well as Somalia, along with no high-risk cargo to be allowed in passenger aircraft. They also include prohibiting toner and ink cartridges weighing more than 16 ounces on passenger aircraft in both carry-on bags and checked bags on U.S.-bound domestic and international flights. Napolitano said that this ban will also apply to certain inbound international air cargo shipments.

                                  Problem is I'm not in Yemen nor Somalia.
                                  I've written an email to the post office spokesman requesting proper documentation.
                                  Not even Deutsche Post or Royal Mail have info on this crap. And I'm pretty sure the local US Embassy would have it on their info wall.
