We had a couple of obviously “suspect packages” delivered to the bank when I worked there, both times some total knob just ripped them open to have a look, even the one with the wires hanging out the side (*) It’s pretty easy to post a letter or a fake bomb, very hard to do anything else but even so
Antisemitism is weirdly inclusive isn’t it? You don’t even have to be jewish.
(* a hoaxer’s favourite apparently, make sure your package looks bomby)
Had something similar when I worked for a bank – they installed one of the machines like they have at airports – put the incoming mail on the belt, watch the screen as it passes through, different colours for different sorts of material, that sort of thing. They trained the staff on its use (bear in mind that the opening-the-post jobs as in most organisations aren’t the best paid or demanding of the highest skill levels) and told them that they would, some time soon, send a fake bomb in as a test.
Which explains how, one morning I was wandering through as one of the lads pulled a box off the machine, waved it vigorously above his head and announced to all and sundry “I’ve found it! I’ve found the bomb!”
Unfortunately, colleagues in other teams hadn’t been informed of the planned test. There was quite an impressive reaction…
