Postal Drug Shipments, Sniffer Dogs and Bloomberg Gun Displays

The hosts question how large quantities of drugs bypass postal sniffer dogs during transit from Silk Road sellers to customers. They compare the lack of physical evidence in the Silk Road bust to Mayor Michael Bloomberg's high-profile press conferences featuring seized firearms in New York.
