So, if it turns out that TWA 800 was an accidental wing tank explosion, will
they give us our civil liberties back?  If not, why not?

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. 

Larger packages will have to be presented in person at the 
Post Office, and I wouldn't be surprised if several forms of
ID were required.

Should wreak havoc with the mail order video tape rental business,
with those handy pre-paid 4th class labels you just slap on the 
tapes before dropping in the nearest mailbox. 

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.
