“FedEx may prove a tougher nut to crack. Officials there called the federal probe ‘absurd and disturbing’ and said it threatened customer privacy. They also accused the DEA of failing to cooperate with them in efforts to resolve the problem. ‘We are a transportation company — we are not law enforcement, we are not doctors and we are not pharmacists,’ FedEx spokesman Patrick Fitzgerald said. ‘We have no interest in violating the privacy of our customers by opening and inspecting their packages in an attempt to determine the legality of the contents. We stand ready and willing to support and assist law enforcement. We cannot, however, do their jobs for them.'”
