Dear studentff:
There is a perfectly logical explanation of why there must not be any mailboxes in the sterile area, although I must state in whispers lest they take them out, that in some airports such as Seatle, there are mailboxes in the sterile area. That's our trap for the terrorists, to lure them to Seatle and then ship them off to Canada. Inconsistency keeps the terrorists on their toes.

It is an established fact based on a history of terrorist acts that terrorsim is perpetrated by air travellers, who are generally found loitering about sterile area in airports around the world. The solution is elementary; get rid of mailboxes in sterile areas. Oh but why can't we have boxes that will have slots small enough so that no packages err, bombs can be dropped into them? Oh but bombs are not the only threats. Moreover 9/11 hijackers did not use bombs or explosives. The terrorists might want to mail back their extra pointy obejects, that escaped keen eyes of our sharp TSA patriots, back to more terrorists. SOme of them terrorists like to send a note to their mom or to Osama. We are not here to make it easier for them to do that. We will provide no comfort to the enemy. It's ok to have mailboxes by the curb outside the terminal since, firstlly all the passenegers, I mean terrorists, are in the sterile area, and secondly no one is allowed to park within a certain distance of the terminal.

If I can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to write to me. And please don't seal your letter

Yours Truly
