Nighttime Deliveries?

 CBS News: "With the holiday season just around the corner, the U.S. Postal Service is looking to hire about 28,000 seasonal workers and is installing 137 new package sorting machines in an effort to avoid shipping delays. But postal worker representatives say Americans could see after-dark or even nighttime deliveries."

I paused over that.....after-dark/nighttime delivery.

I can think of three-hundred urbanized areas in the US....where a doorbell ringing at 8 PM.....might alert some guy to open the door, with a shotgun in his hand.

A 10 PM doorball ring, in downtown Chicago?  

I see this as a big mistake.  A bunch of hoodlums dressed up in postal gear.....faking an appearance at the door....robbing the guy.

Even in rural areas (like Alabama)......you probably might fear the guy at the door is some meth-head or nutcase.
