Don Maston, President of the National Rural Letter Carrier Association, emphasized the urgency of modernizing postal security measures. “The arrow keys are just old-school technology, and we’re living in a new environment these days,” Maston said. He highlighted a recent audit by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which found that more than half of the robberies involving letter carriers were linked to the theft of their arrow keys.
FOX 5 has reported on several such incidents occurring in the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia areas, underscoring the need for stronger protections.
“Our carriers are out there by themselves. If someone comes up with a gun and tries to do harm to them to get access to the mail, it’s very frightening for our carriers,” Maston added.

Let us start carrying. I can use an expandable baton but would rather carry military equivalent beretta 9mm. Maybe people would start having more respect for the mailman!
