The package is almost a perfect example of "suspicious mail" as identified by the USPS. USPS employees are trained to identify and report "suspicious packages". Clues are
1) misspelled addressee
2) hand applied stamps (usually many small denomination)Hand applied stamps indicates the postage was added at home and the package was dropped at a mailbox to be picked up. Also no transaction for postage, and no tracking.
3)Even the return address is misspelled. DWS office would have used her title in the return, and most likely a pre-printed label
4) The Git-er-done and flag is another tip off. Any extraneous message, especially hand written, on a package with other problems, raises flags.

I agree completely with you regarding “suspicious mail”. Someone saw our “For Internal Use Only” poster describing “suspicious mail” and thought “What a great idea!”.

I can guarantee you that if someone had dropped 10 of these packages with insufficient postage in a collection box, someone would have noticed. 10 or more letters, packages, etc and regulations require the Post Office to return them, not send them on.

The only picture I have seen with a sticker saying postage due on it was the package being sent to Biden and you know his crowd sure isn’t going to pay that 75 cents. $3.75 postage is only going to be enough for a 6 oz package anyway. Not an explosives expert, but that is an awfully light-weight bomb.

Odds are that none of the intended recipients would have been the one to open the package. Most of these people would have a mail room or an assistant to take care of the menial task of sorting their mail.
