Perhaps they could peddle buggywhips door-to-door as well.
Start with the union terrorists.

This is exactly the same thing the fire department did when faced with decreasing amounts of fires: go out on car crash calls. Because you know when you have a car accident, you’ve got to to roll a pumper truck.
Excellent idea: the carriers could administer really, REALLY nasty paper cuts; force the bad guys to sort the mail by hand, crippling them; send them out on foot routes carrying the Sears catalogue....
There are all sorts of possibilities!
“with sensors so letter carriers can thwart biological terrorist attacks, according to recent reports.”

Paging Cliff Claven....
