As a resident expert in postal operations, I wonder if you may have any insight into the science behind how it is that they were supposedly able to pinpoint where the prestamped envelopes were bought.

Do different post offices use different stamps? This determination sounds a little farfetched to me, but maybe it's possible. If so, I'm surprised that this information never came out until now.

I'm really surprised at it too. Last I recall all the postage prepaid envelopes were manufactured at the facility in Wilkes Barre PA.

The particular variety used in the anthrax attack has been replaced.

If they were putting track and trace materials in the paper it was a secret.

What I suspect is that there were no track and trace materials in the paper, but in the course of "discussing" the business with some cronie reporter the FBI informant got all mixed up on "all the envelopes came from Pennsylvania" ~ meaning the facility in Wilkes Barre ~ and got turned into "near Maryland or New Jersey" - since PA, after all, really is near MD and NJ.

So, what can I say ~ FBI guys are protecting their careers from a possible Obama regime, and reporters are stupid.

From Duley before:

"He proceeded to describe to the group a very long and detailed homicidal plan and intention, that he had bought a vest, obtained a gun, a very detailed plan to kill his co-workers, because he was about to be indicted on capital murder charges," she added. "He was going to go out in a blaze of glory."

Well, did the FBI find the vest and gun yet?
