If it was gun powder they'd say it.
Or any other home made filler.

It just feels rushed and overdone..and sloppy. Like no time or thought was put in to it. It also comes at a very convenient time. Just doesnt feel right.
2:59 PM — FBI Director Christopher Wray says “13 IEDs were sent to various individuals across the country. Each device consisted of roughly 6 inches of PVC pipe, a small clock, a battery, some wiring and what is known as energetic material…These are not hoax devices.”

What doesn't feel right?
That a batsnip crazy person would mail bombs? That sounds exactly like something I would expect.

Ooh, good point! This guy didn't have enough money to hire a private courier... he was living out of that van according to Fox, as well as his mother's house.
Star for YOU!

Why weren't the stamps on the packages postmarked?
All of the pipe bomb packages contained Forever stamps, but some of the packages were not postmarked sparking questions about how they could be mailed without it. Three officials explained to NBC New York on Thursday that some of the manila packages were not postmarked because they were too soft and could not go through the postal machines.
USPS says on its site that there are some instances where a postmark is not required.
"Postmarks are not required for mailings bearing a permit, meter, or precanceled stamp for postage, nor to pieces with an indicia applied by various postage evidencing systems," it says.
3:13 PM — Asked why the suspect only sent explosive devices to Democrats, Sessions replies: “I don’t know, other than what you might normally expect. He appears to be been partisan, that would be determined by the facts as the case goes forward, I’m not able to comment on that.”

I'm sensing sarcasm, mailing isn't expensive, but having a courier hand deliver is.
Just to check, I called a local courier and asked them how much it would cost to have a package from florida, sent to new york, hand delivered, I told them it was a manila envelope about the size of a small pipe bomb.
He said he'd have to look it up, asked for my name, address and phone number and said he'd get back to me.
I'll let you know when he calls back what it costs, I bet it won't be cheap. I'm expecting to be surprised.
