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.

I haven't seen the postage due photo but in our package processing center there are machines that will scan the barcode, weigh the package, and reject packages for postage due. But these packages had no barcodes when they reached the sort center. We have stuff that will easily read those address labels, but I don't think they scan for stamps and calculate the postage paid, so they wouldn't necessarily be rejected for postage due.

In fact these would probably only be caught by an alert employee that happened to see them all together. Were they even dropped at the same location? I guess we'll know more soon.
