i believe some people were sickened from some poisoned letters in the past, which is why they do the extra screening now for govt addressed mail-or maybe all mail?

The 2001 anthrax attacks in the United States, also known as Amerithrax from its Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) case name, occurred over the course of several weeks beginning on Tuesday, September 18, 2001, one week after the September 11 attacks. Letters containing anthrax spores were mailed to several news media offices and two Democratic U.S. Senators,
killing five people and infecting 17 others.
