As a letter carrier for the U.S.P.S. I must say I am very pleased to see that the majority of people in wich contributed to this forum are understanding.
In the early 80's an average of 16 packages contianing bombs were sent via airplane undetected. Due to the increase of torrorist threats durring the Regan era,the usps implemented a system to better insure the saftey of airline travel. And it worked. We as the employees of the usps ar tought to look for specific criteria to identify "target mail". As of last year the no. of bombs shipped via usps undetected (inspite of a record 242 billion pieces of mail) was only 2.
However, no one was fully preparred for the events on 9/11 or those that followed. But we at the postal service w/ the help of the postal inspection service are concentrating on getting things back to normal w/ out jepardizing the saftey of our customers. DAmon aka husband of 2001 impala
