"FedEx originally said the parcel might have fallen off its delivery van."

Which is of course believable
if you might have just fallen off the turnip truck.

"The F.B.I. does not have the right to seize material without a warrant, without even notifying anyone, and just making it vanish," Lucy Dalglish, executive director of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, said in an interview. "That, in our minds, is completely illegal."

I agree, they do not have the right to make information like this vanish.However, they have a long practice of doing just that. The FBI confiscated tape from privately owned video surveillance cameras which recorded the Ryder truck pulling up in front of the Murrah Building with two occupants, and then recorded the explosion.

Those tapes have vanished.

I wish Grassely was as concerned about those videotapes as he seems to be about this package.
