UPDATE:

NEW YORK (Reuters) – U.S. authorities were investigating on Friday “potentially suspicious items” on cargo planes that landed at airports in Newark, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, the Transportation Security Administration said.

“Out of an abundance of caution the planes were moved to a remote location where they are being met by law enforcement officials and swept,” the TSA said in a statement.

A New York police spokesman said a United Parcel Service delivery truck was also being investigated in the city’s borough of Queens

The TSA has strict rules for "Known Shippers" sending out packages abaord airlines that originate here in the US, but not so much for shipments that originate outside of the US.

Those planes are full of Democrat absentee ballots. These planes have been quarantined so that the Philly unions can unload the crates of ballots out of sight of real Americans.

I’m sure there must be some French unions upset with UPS or the USA in general.

Those mostly apply to packages shipped on board commercial *passenger* aircraft, not cargo-only aircraft.
