[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 420054, member: 135"] I'm stronger than the average bear and people give me their stuff to open but there's a lot of stuff that has new, "improved" tamper-proof packaging that is almost impossible for anybody to open, no matter how strong you are. I know they think they are doing this for our own good but some things are ridiculous. Times have certainly changed. I am in the middle of spring cleaning and yesterday I ran across a wooden box that was used to send medications through the mail to my great-grandfather who was a frontier doctor. I'm sure it would have gotten on the train in St. Louis and ended up at the local station. It wouldn't have even been sealed - just a couple of nails. I thought at the time, if that were today it would have to have special packaging, special delivery, a ton of red tape, and several dozen people involved to be sure it got to where it was going all in one piece. Is this progress? [/QUOTE]
