[pct-l] New PO Security Procedures ?????

[Jim & Jane Moody]

I don't remember the details, but a crazy person did gun down two female postal workers here in TN a year or two ago.  Not sure of the details, but I think one of the victims was a former wife or girl friend of the shooter.  Pretty sure it was a domestic dispute, not a hiker-gone-mad incident.  Besides, no legitimate thru-hiker would have a gun, right?

Just called to check hours, etc at the Darby MT Post Office. Ed says for   
security reasons they can no longer hand a box through a door on Saturday - 
"a  couple ladies were killed back east in Tennessee". This may become a 
problem for  hikers in the future; so, Has anyone else run into this?
