It is policy to have certain postal service operation procedures and protocols in place to protect politicians, dignitaries, and other important individuals from dangerous parcels and mail that could contain chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive (CBRNE) weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Reflect on the extent to which you believe these policies and procedures should be implemented nationwide. Should they exist in all local, state, federal, and tribal postal or shipping facilities? Why, or why not? Who deserves such protection? As you explain your rationale or criteria for implementation, consider what can occur if this equipment is not functioning, not utilized, or not installed at all.
