> But to put this in perspective (and again, i think civil forfeiture is nutso), thi is is a fedex site that processes about 100k packages an hour.

Minor correction, but the article says they can process up to 99k packages per hour.

Sure. But Indy processes an amazing amount. Assume it’s 10k/hour or even 1000/hour average over the year and it doesn’t change the point.

At 1000/hour it means they did 9 million packages a year and seized .001 percent of them (think I got that right, on my phone)

FedEx does 15 million packages a day (2.8 billion a year) overall and this is the second largest hub. So the number is probably much closer to 100k an hour than 1000/hour.

FedEx is expanding capacity to 140k/hour as well
