Everything looks so clean and organized. If this was done in the US, especially via UPS, it would look a lot different.
Me too, I expected a lot more mess (from working at post offices)

#22How did some scanner not think this weird bundle of electronics was a bomb? Or at least cause some one to inspect it closely.
Maybe they scan heavy packages only. A camera + controller + memory could go through a 'normal' path

Because outside of the US people are not paranoid.
Sadly England seems to be. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-23727511
That isn't paranoia.
A rather large bomb was set off by the IRA in 1996 within walking distance of the sorting office in the article. There have been multiple bombs planted recently in NI itself.

Actually how is the legal situation on this? If they go all bomb scare crazy over this is it my fault as the sender even so it is not even remotely reassembling a bomb layout? Is there a ban on mailing home made electronics? Or do I need to put a sticker on ATTENTION, THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT A BOMB!

There are countries in the world where this would rightly trigger a bomb scare. It's nothing to do with paranoia - in some places mail bombs are a reality.
Which places would that be?
Here is one example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Cooper_letter_bomb_campai...

#29This seems fishy to me. On a 6-sided package, why is the pinhole side always facing the action? Why is the shot never blocked by another package?

When it's facing another package or something the view is not changing, so no motion is detected and no frames are recorded.
