I love the camo duct tape.

I suggest that when you plant a box covered with camo tape you consider if it looks like an explosive device and if, by its location, it is likely that law-enforcement will think it is one. I believe a camo taped box should not generally be planted in urban settings.

A paper bag and a briefcase also look like explosive devices, as well as pretty much any other type of container that appears to be hidden in an urban setting. Camo tape makes zero difference in this regard. If you want to keep law enforcement from getting excited, you should do either of two things: 1) use a transparent container so people can see what's inside without touching it, or 2) write the name of the letterbox, the word "letterbox", and "atlasquest.com" prominently on the outside so people can look it up on this site without touching it.

We have found several boxes that had their interior contents in a BIOHAZARD bag. I must admit every time we find one of these we hesitate and wonder if we should open it. One such box was planted on a military compound!
