Mail Bombs and Suspicious Packages

The likelihood of ever receiving a bomb in the mail is remote. Unfortunately, however, a small number of explosive devices have been mailed over the years resulting in the death, injury, and destruction of property. To help prevent a mail bomb disaster first, consider whether you or your organization could be a possible target. Some motives for mail bombs include revenge, extortion, love triangles, terrorism and business disputes. Keep in mind that a bomb can be enclosed in either a parcel or an envelope, and its outward appearance is limited only by the imagination of the sender. However, mail bombs have some unique characteristics, which may assist you in identifying a suspect mailing. To apply these factors, it is important to know the type of mail your organization and your home receive.
