Abstract

A terrorist-resistant mailbox with at least certain components which are substantially transparent or translucent. Such components facilitate the visualization of contents of the mailbox without requiring that the mailbox actually be opened, and thereby risk injury to a postal customer or postal worker by opening a mailbox in which resides a harmful product or parcel.
