FedEx Corp will screen every package at the Texas facility where a parcel exploded on Tuesday, according to a FedEx manager, describing extraordinary steps the company is taking in response to a series of bombings in the state capital.

The package delivery company will also X-ray entire truckloads of parcels at its sorting facility outside Austin, and then divert them elsewhere for sorting and delivery, said the FedEx employee who was not authorized to speak on the record. The source does not work at the sorting facility but was briefed on the situation.

FedEx spokesman Jim McCluskey said he had no immediate comment.

I'm sure whoever is doing this is going to adapt his procedures accordingly. After the first several were just left on porches, they decided to use FEDEX. Might change tactics once again to try to avoid detection.

Lived in the Houston area all my life. Have visited the Austin area often. Austin is definately nicer than Houston in many ways.
