[TheForge] mailbox

[Marc3rd]

I was thinking of rigging it either with explosives or a trip wire to set
off a few cameras. The explosives would be more fun, but taking a picture
into the postoffice might be better in the long run. You see once you put
the mail box up. It becomes federal property. And then all kinds of things
come into play. Destruction of Federal property. Tampering with the
mail..........
