FedEx Shipping Exceptions & Concerns (Coincidence?)

Earlier this week, for the first time in 2+ years of trading, I had something break in one of my packages. I'd sent 5 Crooked Stave bottles and a 32oz swing top growler to Chicago and on the day of delivery, while it was on the truck already, I received a message saying:

Delivery exception -
Damaged, handling per shipper instructions

After which time I received another notification, the next day, saying that the package was being returned to me. This morning I received it and luckily I received back 4 of the 5 Crooked Stave bottles and surprisingly, the growler intact (I'd assumed that the growler had broken.)

Concurrent with all of this, I had a thank you package going out to my Crooked Stave trustee in Denver which was scheduled for delivery yesterday and was pushed off until today. While the package showed as "On FedEx vehicle for delivery" the FedEx guy passed by his house and let him know that the package was taken off because they believed that it had alcohol inside of it. Apparently this was the second package to have this happen to him this week as earlier in the week a package (from VA) was also taken off of the truck for the same reason and then the tracking status showed something along the lines of "Delivery Exception - Forwarded to Government Warehouse" or the like.

So I have a few questions for you all, 1) have you ever had anything like this happen? 2) Did I get permanently flagged or is it a coincidence that I'd have two events happen like this in the course of a few days? 3) or was it my CS trustee who's flagged? 4) If you, or someone you know, works for FedEx and would be able to tell if either of us are flagged by entering the tracking number, please let me know and I'd BM it to you and be eternally grateful.

Any input you could provide would definitely be appreciated!

Cheers,
MK
