This raises some questions in my mind about how good these attackers are. In my experience, it is exorbitantly expensive to ship packages from Yemen. I can't imagine that was an cheap package to send. Also, the postal service in Yemen just doesn't work all that well. Expensive and unreliable is not a good combination. I confess I'm trying to make light of a serious situation in case that was not clear.

I will take this as a suggestion to fly economy, not freight, when coming home.
