} SPECIAL BULLETIN
}
} While the likelihood of your ever receiving a bomb in the mail is
} remote, in light of the two recent letter bomb incidents at the
} University of California and Yale, we are advising the community to be
} cautious when examining incoming mail. Keep in mind that a bomb can be
} enclosed in either a parcel or an envelope, and its outward appearance
} is limited only by the imagination of the sender.
}
} Since mail bombs have some unique characteristics, the following
} information is being provided to help assist you in identifying a
} suspect mailing. This information has been compiled with information
} obtained from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the International
} Association of Bomb Technicians and Investigators.
}
}
} LETTER AND PARCEL BOMB RECOGNITION POINTS
}
} - Mail bombs may bear restricted endorsements such as "Personal" or
} "Private." This factor is important when the addressee does not
} usually receive personal mail at the office.
}
} - Addressee's Name/title may be inaccurate.
}
} - Return address may be factious.
}
} - Mail bombs may reflect distorted handwriting or the name and address
} may be prepared with homemade labels or cut-and paste lettering.
}
} - Mail bombs may have protruding wires, aluminum foil, or oil stains and
} may emit a peculiar odor.
}
} - Cancellation or postmark may show a different location than the return
} address.
}
} - Mail bombs may feel rigid, or appear uneven or lopsided.
}
} - Parcel bombs may be unprofessionally wrapped with several combinations
} of tape used to secure the package and may be endorsed "Fragile-Handle
} With Care" or "Rush - Do Not Delay".
}
} - Package bombs may have an irregular shape, soft spots or bulges.
} There may also be excessive or uneven weight distribution.
}
} - Package bombs may make a buzzing or ticking noise or a sloshing sound.
}
} - Pressure or resistance may be noted when removing contents from an
} envelope or parcel.
}
}
} IF YOU ARE SUSPICIOUS OF A MAILING AND ARE UNABLE TO VERIFY THE CONTENTS
} WITH THE ADDRESSEE OR SENDER:
}
} 1. Do not open the article.
}
} 2. Isolate the mailing but DO NOT place it in a confined space such
} as a desk drawer.
}
} 3. Notify the MIT Campus Police immediately: DIAL "100" from an MIT
} phone or 253-1212 from a pay phone.
}
}
} If you have any questions concerning the above guidelines or suspicious
} mail, please contact the MIT Campus Police Special Services Division at
} 253-9724.
