What's Wrong at Muscle Shoals Post Office?

USPS officials are mum on the Avalon Ave. Post Office closure, other than citing 'safety concerns'. OK. Let's examine some possible/plausable 'safety concerns':

The building in question is too new for there to be any likely asbestos issues. We can probably rule that out right off the bat.

Electrical? Again, as with asbestos, not likely due to the building's age.

Black mold? Now we're getting warm. Black mold infestation is no respector of age. Most are aware of the litany of health problems associated with black mold. Which brings us to the REAL questions:

Why the secrecy? Could it be that officials are worried about possible medical claims from Post Office patrons? What about possible health concerns of family members of USPS employees working at that location? It is entirely possible, plausable, even, that USPS employees working in an environment infested with black mold could/would bring such mold spores home on their clothing. 

See the possible 'real' issue, now? It goes from being a 'safety concern' to a major CYA concern.

Several readers have contacted us about the post office closure. The most interesting theory involved bomb making materials being present in the building. While the workers who are going inside are wearing some protective clothing, we've not seen any photos of what could be considered body armor. We're ruling out explosives for that one reason. Until the postal service elaborates, we're all in the dark.
