A few people said that, did it cut its way out?
unless they have some unforeseeable downside (like they're actually made of cream cheese cunningly disguised as ABS)

I don't know what the "tool" was, but sending it in a single-thickness paper envelope was pretty lame.
“No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands .… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison, Federalist 47
“All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government. An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one .... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others.” — Thomas Jefferson, commentary on Federalist 48

What if customs thought it was some sort of weapon?  Those things are sharp.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

I've bought knives in from other countries, there are no laws against it, over here anyway. Is it not the same in the states?

Especially when shipping was $4 domestic and I'm sure even more international.
