Yikes! This shouldn't even be possible

An inmate at the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kansas, was charged yesterday with making a letter bomb and mailing it to the offices of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Virginia. The prisoner has a long history of making violent threats and has previously mailed an explosive device from a county jail in West Virginia. A spokesperson for the Bureau of Prisons could not comment on how the prisoner managed to construct and mail the bomb.
