As the primary law enforcement arm of the United States Postal Service, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service is a highly specialized, professional organization performing investigative and security functions essential to a stable and sound postal system. Congress empowered the Postal Service 'to investigate postal offenses and civil matters relating to the Postal Service.' Through its security and enforcement functions, the Postal Inspection Service provides assurance to American businesses for the safe exchange of funds and securities through the U.S. Mail; to postal customers of the 'sanctity of the seal' in transmitting correspondence and messages; and to postal employees of a safe work environment."

U.S. Postal Service Emergency Preparedness Plan for Protecting Postal Employees and Postal Customers from Exposure to Biohazardous Material and for Ensuring Mail Security against Bioterror Attacks
The Postal Inspection Service has provided the Postal Service a threat assessment, which serves as a basis for this plan. The Postal Inspection Service maintains a continuous liaison with all appropriate federal law enforcement agencies and monitors threats to the nation and its mail. (The threat assessment is not a public document, due to security concerns.) The threat assessment states, in part, the sheer size and presence of the Postal Service makes it vulnerable to be a target of terrorism or to be used as a vehicle to carryout terrorist activities. The Postal Service is not immune to the possibility of being a terrorism target again and we believe the threat level increased with the media publicity surrounding the delivery of the anthrax laden letters to the Senate, the threat assessment concludes. Accordingly, the Postal Service believes, and is acting on the assumption that the threat for the inappropriate use of the mails continues. The greatest opportunities to limit the damage of covert NBC attacks, or prevent them entirely, exist during the first phases of the incident. This report emphasizes just such an approach. It places a premium on threat identification combined with protection to both employees and customers of the Postal Service at the earliest feasible point in our distribution system.

Screening Inmate Mail for Threatening or Dangerous Materials
"A surprising number of suspicious mailings originate in correctional facilities. Written threats penned by inmates are difficult to screen in outgoing mail. However, much of the suspicious mail from correctional facilities contains powders or other material placed in envelopes and parcels. Even in controlled environments, inmates find ways to mimic threatening substances. Powders such as soap, dried toothpaste, flour or even dirt are adequate stand-ins for harmful materials. And problem mail may contain truly hazardous substances, such as feces or dried blood. More creative inmates have tried to construct explosives from items such as batteries and butane lighters. Even when they fail, improvised explosive devices can incite significant fear upon delivery, or when detected in the mail stream. Correctional facilities may use a variety of tools to reduce suspicious, outgoing mail. Unfortunately, administrators may be unaware of available solutions to the problem."
