Anyone know if UPS or DHL puts their packages thru a x ray scan within their facilities before they deliver state to state or same city to same city . I m talking Mexico only . Just need some input before I make my plan . thanks.

Can't speak on behalf of Mexico, but in the US, most facilities have explosive "sniffers" which sense the presence of both improvised explosives, and explosive chemicals. X-Ray use would limit what the carriers could ship, as many items are X-Ray sensitive.

X-ray would take way too long to do on every shipped item too. I believe its used selectively on items of interest for other factors and perhaps also used randomly the way they do it with shipping containers.
Domestic packages ultimately receive less scrutiny but if they're from a previously flagged location/source and/or meet spec's aligned with the packages previously flagged they stand a higher chance of scrutiny.
