They definately take opening of mail seriously and it is a federal offense so it's not like every worker is going to just steal an insured package and not be found out and charged. I wouldn't expect them to open every package as it arrives to verify contents because it could cause some problems as they are sitting waiting to be graded. It seems better to just leave the package as it is until it's ready to eliminate any liability of damage.
