It is ordinary Joes like and me are affected and for the Terrorists it is a terror tactic.

Detect Letter Bombs.

Detecting Suspiscious [sic] Packages / Letters

*REMEMBER*

The item does not have to be
delivered by a carrier. Most
bombers set up and deliver the
bomb themselves.

1. If delivered by carrier, inspect for
lumps, bulges, or protrusions,
without applying pressure.

2. If delivered by carrier, balance
check if lopsided or heavy sided.

3. Handwritten addresses or labels
from companies are improper.
Check to see if the company exists
and if they sent a package or letter.

4. Packages wrapped in string are
automatically suspicious, as modern
packaging materials have eliminated
the need for twine or string.

5. Excess postage on small packages or
letters indicates that the object was
not weighed by the Post Office.

6. No postage or non-canceled postage.

7. Any foreign writing, addresses, or
postage.

8. Handwritten notes, such as: “To Be
Opened in the Privacy of”
“CONFIDENTIAL” – “Your Lucky Day
is Here” – “Prize Enclosed”.

9. Improper spelling of common names,
places, or titles.

10. Generic or incorrect titles.

11. Leaks, stains, or protruding wires,
string, tape, etc.

12. Hand delivered or dropped off for a
friend packages or letters.

13. No return address or nonsensical return
address.

14. Any letters or packages arriving before
or after a phone call from an unknown
person asking if the item was received.

15. If you have a suspicious letter or
package, Call Emergency Police helpline.

Bombs

Bombs can be constructed to look
like almost anything and can be
placed or delivered in any number of
ways. The probability of finding a
bomb that looks like the
stereotypical bomb is almost
nonexistent. The only common
denominator that exists among
bombs is that they are designed or
intended to explode.

Most bombs are homemade and are
limited in their design only by the
imagination of, and resources
available to, the bomber. Remember,
when searching for a bomb, suspect
anything that looks unusual. Let the
trained bomb technician determine
what is or is not a bomb.

Those who can afford may buy Mail Bomb Detector.

Excellent discrimination between potentially dangerous contents and paper clips, staples and metal tags

Designed for use by secretaries, receptionists and mailroom staff without any requirement for special training

Reliable and easy to use with negligible false alarm rate

SCANMAIL 10K is a new generation microprocessor-controlled mail screener which will reliably screen all your mail and courier deliveries up to about telephone directory size.

It will detect virtually all known letterbomb detonating devices regardless of the type of explosive used, whether plastic or otherwise. SCANMAIL 10K is specifically programmed to automatically alarm on packages containing potentially dangerous contents, such as explosive devices, whilst reliably ignoring the normal office stationary items contained in your mail such as paperclips, staples and metal tags.

This high level of selectivity is achieved without any loss of the forensic standard protection it provides. The sensitivity level is set at the factory and cannot be reduced by its users. A special test card is supplied to allow customers to check the correct functioning of the unit each time it is switched on. In this way there is no false sense of security.

SCANMAIL 10K employs simple touch pad operation and requires no specialist training. It will run off an ordinary mans socket and also incorporates its own internal battery should your mains power fail. The unit is completely portable and takes up as little valuable desk space as normal office printers or mailroom scales. In addition, it is completely safe to use and does not damage camera film, magnetic tape nor computer discs.
