Nobody likes the USPS...

So I had to apply for my second US Passport (so for whatever reason, I'll have two functioning passports--Jason Bourne style).  The state department mails me the application and a prepaid UPS envelope.  I guess even the US State Department doesn't trust the US Postal Service to deliver my passport timely.  Joke is on me I guess, the "prepaid" envelope was expired so I had to pay for it anyway.
