A recent survey by ASIS indicates that because more companies received bomb threats during the last year, security professionals have increased mail room security measures. Over 50% of the large-sized organizations surveyed had at least one threat in 1996. Over two-thirds screen business mail. Most only examine suspicious-looking packages and those addressed to high-profile personnel; less than 10% of high-risk companies screen all mail. About half plan to increase security in response to perceived levels of risk. For more information, call (703) 522-5800 or visit www.asisonline.org.
