I agree completely with you regarding “suspicious mail”. Someone saw our “For Internal Use Only” poster describing “suspicious mail” and thought “What a great idea!”.
I can guarantee you that if someone had dropped 10 of these packages with insufficient postage in a collection box, someone would have noticed. 10 or more letters, packages, etc and regulations require the Post Office to return them, not send them on.
The only picture I have seen with a sticker saying postage due on it was the package being sent to Biden and you know his crowd sure isn’t going to pay that 75 cents. $3.75 postage is only going to be enough for a 6 oz package anyway. Not an explosives expert, but that is an awfully light-weight bomb.
Odds are that none of the intended recipients would have been the one to open the package. Most of these people would have a mail room or an assistant to take care of the menial task of sorting their mail.

This morning, my local radio station (KOA Denver) had a reporter from ABC on talking about the bombs. He said straight up some of them have “gone off”. I sent them an email about it. It is a blatant and purposely misleading lie and escalates the situation needlessly.
All of the “bombs” had a “fake” ISIS flag. The bomber was telling people that this is a false flag op.
I’m waiting.
The machines will only catch ePostage labels that have the wrong amount on them. They will not catch something with flats postage that should actually be a package either. These packages had stamps on them so would have had to be caught by whomever emptied the collection box or on the receiving end.
You are correct that an alert person would be the one to catch them. I am not even sure that they all came through the mail. I seriously doubt we could have delivered to so many diverse zip codes with them arriving on the same day.
