Fortunately, it is an urban legend. See
http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl-ups-uniforms.htm

I've always been a bit suspicious of packages anyway
after a disgruntled former employee of a New York
company badly injured his former manager's young
daughter with a fake "Christmas" present ... Not to
mention that the Unabomber's family lived a few blocks
from one of the places that I've lived ... A website
on Kaczynsky has some interesting details, including
that he apparently preyed on people that were trying
to do things like removed a road hazard and return
someone's 3 ring binder.
