Over the past few years there has been a rise in the number of postal devices - letter bombs, parcel bombs, hate mail and other malicious mail containing hazardous material - being sent for political or religious reasons, for extortion and by mentally unstable individuals.
This rising threat has led many organizations, governments and individuals to begin using x-ray machines to scan their mail before it is opened. While the introduction of x-ray technology into mailroom security is a step in the right direction, it is important to realise that it is extremely difficult for mailroom staff to detect threats such as mail bombs without prior specialised training. After all, how many of us have seen a post bomb, let alone one under x-ray.
Letter bomb, parcel bomb, and other mail threat detection training
