As I said, some will think this is an over-reaction. And it is, to the current threat. But what is to keep us from a mass attack through the mail system in the future? We have learned that the mail system is a perfect way to direct semi-smart "weapons" to targets chosen by an opponent, in the same manner as our aircraft were used as weapons.

Why do you think that "the only mail that can be carried by the USPS until further notice is business mail processed by franking machines and picked up at the place of business by mail carriers, or by certified couriers from the place of business (or govt facility) to a mail handling facility" would bring the wheels of commerce to a crashing halt? Isn't that the way business mail is normally handled? Except for ma and pa stores?
