What I wanna know is if, according to the FBI, the bomber is putting the bombs in the mailbox at night, in hopes of attacking postal workers, how come the man in this article says "my mail was there.."? How did the mail get put into the mailbox if the bomb was put in at night? Did the postal worker open the box, see the bomb and put in the mail anyway?

Did the postal worker open the box, see the bomb and put in the mail anyway?

Didn't one of the mail carriers say that he saw it in the mailbox but thought it was some sort of farm equipment? [Sorry if this is a repeat -- I posted this in another thread too.]

In post #56 you said, "What I wanna know is if, according to the FBI, the bomber is putting the bombs in the mailbox at night, in hopes of attacking postal workers, how come the man in this article says "my mail was there.."? How did the mail get put into the mailbox if the bomb was put in at night? Did the postal worker open the box, see the bomb and put in the mail anyway?"

That's a very astute observation.

Maybe this man didn't check his mailbox the previous day.

Mailboxes out here in rural Nebraska get double duty. Ag parts, eggs, baked goods get shoved into a mailbox if no one happens to be home at the time. I once returned an angle grinder I borrowed via the mailbox. No one really gives a second thought to something other than mail appearing in one's mailbox.

If the bomber's intentions were to target mail carriers he neglected a prime consideration... outgoing mail. Bills letters, etc get placed into a mailbox way before a mail carrier ever touches the box.
