If Trump's loudest opponents could overcome their multitudinous issues for once they could use this to get rid of Hegseth. The problem is none (or at most few) have experienced handling sensitive material and making sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

I'm glad that national security depends on an unnamed midlevel UPS employee not missing any e... wait, UPS? I assumed it was some special government run shipping thing for important shit, or at least the post office. We're sending sensitive F-35 parts via UPS?

A nuke is gonna get porch pirated after the government mails it via UPS and the guy knocks once and then leaves it on the sidewalk with a post-it and drives off.

I've sent and received Classified. Material that is SECRET and CONFIDENTIAL can be sent via USPS, UPS, etc. TS can not. Shipments with classified material are strictly tracked, usually sent as registered mail. I suspect the fault is not with UPS but with whoever shipped it
