Alternatively it is very likely that the second this stuff is sent over the interwebz, it gets intercepted by a host of foreign countries. If you have dirt on a presidential candidate it makes sense to protect against electronic spying.
Alternatively, they had evidence of crimes and wanted the FBI to have it so they did it on purpose.
In 2006, my organization needed to transfer a massive amount of data securely from the US to SE Asia. The encryption part is trivial (now it even trivialer :p ). The problem was that it took 10 hours via FTP on the fastest connection. The data set would be stale by the time it was delivered. So I concocted a system to transfer that same data set in less then 1 hour using open source software. The system also added an extra layer of security. The transfer was almost impossible to intercept. The data set was far larger then could fit on the biggest flash drive of today.

This one needs special notice; as the internet is damn near as inherently non secure as RF broadcast at this point of saturation.
Slap all the encryption and security buzzwords on the data that you want, the moment you put it up on any sort of broadcast medium, you have started the timer on opposition finding out what is in that data.
Rather than a sting operation i think it was meant as a distraction.
If i had a lot of incriminating evidence on someone influential i would send it in the most secure way, have a trusted person deliver it personally and have some other, more public, way of transport take the limelight.
Imo, it just so happened that UPS did have someone intercept it and this became an "unplanned" trap, or maybe it was planned as a trap without puting the evidence at risk.
This is the correct answer. It is 2020. All major companies have access to SFTPs (Secure File Transfer Protocols) and if you don't, you can get something like JSCAPE for pretty low cost. If my company with 50 people can afford to use it, FOX can afford to use it.
Before opening, the room where they open shipments are probably built as a Faraday cage to prevent signals from intruding. The individual items are then bagged into Faraday bags.
I am not a Fox fan, but I think Tucker is doing a good job overall. He clearly set someone up: 2 witnesses to the sealing at Fox, probably sent to the producer so Tucker's name did not appear, the futility in getting a flash drive that is encrypted and having to decrypt it to only get very salacious personal details of Hunter which they now have to keep confidential or investigate, and going public without naming the delivery company.
The fact that UPS was rattled so quickly is surprising, the fact that the envelope was discarded is shocking. If it was an accident some guy from the engineering team would have wanted to see the envelope so a determination can be made if the transport machinery was at fault (unusual size, shape, etc) in ripping it open. After all machinery failure could affect thousands of other packages moving through the facility each hour.
*Friend Buys Laptop directly from Dell, laughs and comments to me about the extensive "Tamper Evident Sealing" 'Well I guess I know for sure it's new'
*Opens it and installs his fav software (stuff to let him watch his netflix 24/7, etc)
*Laptop starts having hardware issues
*Returns Laptop to Dell for repair.
*Repair reports issue was from "AFTERMARKET INSTALLED HARDWARE" - it was a new laptop - and the device was removed as the fix, NO COST TO REPAIR
We went back and looked up all the information pertaining to it. The laptop shipping tracking showed a point where it went backwards to a different distribution facility instead of forwards. It was there for only a few hours.
The cia has already admitted they intercept pcs and install monitoring software/hardware. Maybe not so much admitted, I think it was an assange or snowden drop
You're right. There must be a signed search warrant by a judge in order for the Postal Inspectors to open your First Class letter/package. UPS, FEDEX, and other private companies are not bound by the 4th Amendment.
Yep they have "legal" access into UPS, that`s why UPS "can't" answer.
The agencies have been accused of intercepting routers in shipment and tampering with them, restore the factory seal, send them on.
Unless it was like a huge volume of data.

Everything except for your last sentence is wrong.

What does your brother do?
Don’t forget the exploding glitter and fart spray.

This guy schemes.
Totally doesn't happen.....

DONT SHIP UPS
Interestingly enough, this is why USPS is the world's most reliable drug dealer. Dark net markets utilize USPS all the time.
