Increased attempts to mail arms worry Frankfurt postal officials by Crystal Laureano Shanes and Thev look for density he said a an by Crystal Laureano staf writer Frankfurt Germany a seven explosive devices and 124 weapons have been detected at the Frankfurt air mail terminal in the past six months alarming postal officials who fear a serious Accident. The mail terminal handles about 105 tons of mail daily one third of which is outbound mail. Items that have been detected include handguns grenades packed in food cans 30mm gun shells and a just last week a a Claymore mine said maj. David Field commander of the mail terminal at the Frankfurt International Airport. One person mailed eight 30mm gun rounds. Postal workers in Frankfurt identify about a dozen boxes each week that contain weapons and explosives that Are restricted by customs regulations from being mailed into the United states. A of course it has to pass through the Guy who put the package together and two or three Peoples hands in the Apo a Field said. A and then it bounces around on the autobahn to get up Here and then the mail gets beat up at my place. A my biggest concern Are the grenades and the mines a Field said but one handgun gave postal officials a scare. A it was loaded it was a revolver and the Hammer was cocked Back on the thing a Field said. A in that Case had it jarred the wrong Way it would have gone  All boxes leaving Europe bound for the United states Are a Rayed by a machine similar to the ones used at airports to screen carry on Luggage Field said. The a Ray requirement was imposed by the Federal aviation administration in january because of increased terrorist threats during the persian Gulf War. There is no indication that the requirement will be dropped Field said. Officials done to know Why the increase in attempted illegal mailing has occurred nor do they know Why people think they can get away with trying to mail weapons and explosives. A none of these things Are Ever listed on the customs Label a he said which seems to indicate that the sender knows the items should not be mailed. Also Many people May not realize the capability of the a Ray machines he said citing an instance of someone mailing a .45-caliber pistol containing a loaded Magazine inside a Metal ammo Box. A the color machines at the Airport Are capable of Reading through any Metal Box because they look for shapes and they look for density a he a Aid. A and a weapon or pistol is a whole lot heavier and More dense than a tin Box  the Monitor identifies Metal in one color and explosive powder or plastic explosives in a different color. A you can look at the machine and see that there is a weapon that is loaded in a Metal Box Quot he said. Postal officials May open space available and parcel Airlift packages that appear to contain contraband. A search warrant easily obtained from local army customs Field office is required for priority mail Field said. After the item is removed the package is re wrapped and a letter is placed inside telling the receiver what item was removed and Why. Explosives and ammunition Are handed Over to the local explosive ordnance unit and handguns Are picked up twice weekly by investigators from the Frankfurt Field office of the 42nd my group Field said. A letter is then sent to the commander of the person who mailed the package and Legal action becomes the commanders responsibility. Rifles and shotguns May be mailed to the United states but Only if accompanied by a form 6 import document from the Bureau of alcohol tobacco and firearms. No other weapon or explosive May be mailed. Attempting to mail weapons or explosives to the states is a felony. Violators can be charged with attempted smuggling making a fraudulent customs declaration and misuse of the Apo system said investigator Ben Crooks of the Frankfurt customs office. Theft charges would be added if military weapons or ammunition were involved. Even if a commander decides against taking Legal action customs agents Forward a copy of their investigation to the criminal records Center in the states giving the violator a permanent criminal record that could prevent efforts to obtain a Security clearance or be hired for a Federal Job Crooks said. In a related matter the american flagged commercial airlines that carry mail to the United states have refused to take packages that contain electronic equipment. Anything identified As electronic containing wiring or batteries during the a Ray procedure is diverted to a cargo airline. _ there the package is put in a decompression chamber where it undergoes a process that simulates the length of time and Altitude pattern of the flight to the packages destination in the states Field said. This process could delay a packages departure from Europe for 24 to 48 hours he said
