The side had been slit and then retaped. Is this part of Homeland

I received mine today and the side of the envelope was neatly sliced
open 3/4 of the way. The contents were intact (the QSL card and a
broadcast schedule). One thing that did strike me as odd was that
there was an empty small plastic wrapper inside. I now wonder if that
contained something that was taken?
Same here. Some have received a sponge, letter opener, or post it notes.
Ace,
Did you get the "empty plastic" also?
Yes.
Even in the early 60's when I
was in high school listening to Radio Peking/Radio Havana, those QSL's
were unopened and I got some freebie goodies along with the QSL's. I
remember a large, hanging calendar with famous Chinese scenes on it,
that got through! Even Radio Tirana and Berlin International sent
little gifts that somehow got through. I still think it is Homeland
Security opening all mail from foreign countries and taking
out"dangerouse" articles!
