The USPS does get to require that things are properly labeled and items which are /hazardous/ (such as highly flammable/reactive/etc materials) might require non-generic transport (which is that USPS is supposed to provide).

Are you proposing that EM emissions controlled entirely by the transporting party might spontaneously explode based on the content of the data as transcribed by those automated systems?

I mean just as the USPS will not knowingly transport things like mail bombs, an ISP should be permitted to curtail traffic known to be harmful (e.g. DDOS variety).

Obviously the packets themselves won't explode.
