The Post Office has now jumped on the terrorist bandwagon by announcing that it will no longer be legal to drop any package weighing over 16 ounces into a collection box.

...

I suspect one could do a lot of damage to a mailbox with under 16 ounces of the proper explosive. Perhaps one of our resident Cypherpunks bomb experts could expand on this subject.

Don't know that I'm a 'bomb expert', but it would appear reasonable that 6 just-under-a-pound bombs would do approximately as much damage as a similarly sized larger device. Even if the 6 devices got scattered to two or more aircraft, the terror factor would be significant Dave Merriman - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- PGP Email welcome, encouraged, and PREFERRED.
