UPS to Require Identification for All Packages

UPS Inc. will require customers shipping packages to show government-issued photo identification in an effort to intensify security after explosives were found on October cargo flights, Bloomberg reported.

The new policy expands a previous rule in place at UPS Customer Centers to include all retail outlets. Customers without a preprinted shipping label will have to display an ID, UPS said in a statement.

The move follows the interception of two bombs contained in Chicago-bound packages originating in Yemen in October.

UPS is ranked No. 1 on the Transport Topics 100 listing of U.S. and Canadian for-hire carriers.
