How to use "Letter bomb" in context?
In the early 1900s, criminals in the United States were using devices called "letter bombs" to send intimidating letters without the recipient knowing who had sent the letter. The devices consisted of a sealed envelope with powder or ball bearings inside it. If the bomb was opened in an inappropriate location, such as at a postal office, the device could detonate and cause serious injury or death. As a result, law enforcement officials began searching for devices containing letter bombs and developed techniques for detecting them.
