After media released photos of the suspicious package sent to CNN …
This is the suspicious package received this morning at the Time Warner Center, which houses the CNN New York bureau.
Police say the package appeared to be a “live explosive device.” It has now been removed and taken to a NYPD facility in the Bronx. https://t.co/i3L1yqDfja pic.twitter.com/YPYQ9T9T3w

People were struck by the strange appearance of the envelope:
Stamps? https://t.co/vqyp44wpj7

Unstamped-by-USPS stamps, at that.

The Soros one was hand-delivered. I wonder if this one was, too.

Was this delivered by hand?
Where's the post marks? https://t.co/gFeKYH2G6r

As it turns out, the package was apparently delivered by courier:
Law enforcement sources tell @ShimonPro the package sent to CNN was delivered by courier, not mailed.

the suspicious package that caused the evacuation of CNN in NYC was not mailed, it was dropped off by a courier, per @ShimonPro

Law enforcement sources tell CNN’s @ShimonPro that the package sent to our building this morning was delivered by courier. CNN previously reported that the package addressed to George Soros was put in the mailbox, not mailed, according to a separate law enforcement source.

Ah.
Explains why the stamps weren't cancelled. https://t.co/mIX1TN20nD

Does that mean it will be easier to trace?
Wow – well they would have had to sign in when delivering the package https://t.co/JYR7nPJtyQ

Presumably.
If the package sent to Brennan (misspelled name, he’s contributor at MSNBC not CNN) was hand delivered by courier, why the stamps? Change of method?

Good question. It’s also worth noting that these threats haven’t been exactly the same:
Yet the packages to Waters, Obama, and Clinton were in mail facilities, yes? https://t.co/Pc6QrKARK9

Hopefully the investigations will yield some answers.
