#2Very cool.

#3Cool video and idea on the mailing system. Looks to be in a country that is not the U.S., maybe European??? Anyway, a U.S. version would be pretty cool to see as well.

#4How did some scanner not think this weird bundle of electronics was a bomb? Or at least cause some one to inspect it closely.

Looks like Denmark (the logo at the front of the Post Office is from Post Danmark).

Because it's from Denmark.

Because as long as the package isn't making weird noises no one cares what's in it.

#8We need more cracked screen smartphone apps at Google play and itunes.
This cool postal logger generalizes to recycled smartphone hackaday DIY probes recording their adventure and uplink data of anything desired, intrepidly set adrift in the wild:
Telemetry
...is the highly automated communications process by which measurements are made and other data collected at remote or inaccessible points and transmitted to receiving equipment for monitoring. The word is derived from Greek roots: tele = remote, and metron = measure. Systems that need external instructions and data to operate require the counterpart of telemetry, telecommand.
Although the term commonly refers to wireless data transfer mechanisms (e.g., using radio, hypersonic, or infrared systems), it also encompasses data transferred over other media such as a telephone or computer network, optical link or other wired communications like phase line carriers. Many modern telemetry systems take advantage of the low cost and ubiquity of GSM networks by using SMS to receive and transmit telemetry data.

Telemetry intelligence (TELINT)
...is a subdiscipline of FISINT which is concerned with missiles and other remotely-monitored devices sending back continuous streams of data about their location, speed, engine status and other metrics. This data can provide information on the performance of the missile and especially its throw-weight, i.e. the potential size of its warhead\s.

Also, when your probe is far far away, HN's second page magically concurrent today, provides minimalist command line bash telecommands:

Because outside of the US people are not paranoid.

The authors contact page [1] mentions a Dutch mobile phone number, but the stamp [2] clearly shows Post Danmark was used in transport.
