Operator's efficient operation of its facilities, the provision of

So in this case your landlord could check your mail to make sure that you
aren't a terrorist. And the movers could open your boxes to ensure you
weren't moving bombs[1].

  The "boxes" are transparent.  They don't have to open them to look inside for the bombs.  There are also "sniffers" to check for explosive residue.  The "trucking" company can take any road they want.  But they must truck the "box" to the destination.  They still do not have the right to open the box, add or subtract from the contents, or not deliver "just because they are too busy".
