## Opinion text

JUSTICE BILANDIC, specially concurring:
I agree with the analysis and the result reached in part II of the majority opinion.
Because the detention and investigation of the defendants’ package was not reasonable under the fourth amendment, the defendants’ motions to suppress must be granted and their arrests quashed. This holding is dispositive of this appeal.
There is no need to resolve the issues in part I of the majority opinion.
