WRONG! ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS put a return address on the package.. thats how normal people do things - if you're sending someone merchandise do you leave off the return address? OF COURSE NOT! Also, since this entire Anthrax thing they would almost certinly inspect a package with no return address... you MUST have a return address, and while it's probably not the BEST idea to use your address (thought it might be ok if you could figure out a way to talk yourself out of it) .. use a real address - just not yours!
2) make sure the package is sealed tightly and stands no chance of opening up.
Alright, but don't use an excess of tape and packing materials... thats another sign of a suspisicious package - excess tape and whatnot... just tape it as you would any package, it won't come open..
Another bit of advice -
Make sure BOTH the return address and TO address are written LARGE and CLEARLY - if you can, print them in a large font, put them on the box and secure with clear tape...
