Let's do the probability stack shall we?
Let's start with the probability of mailing a dozen+ envelopes containing devices and not being questioned in any way, and them getting to their destinations "as we've been sold."
1. You mail them.
2. You don't take them to the counter, because if you did you'd be busted instantly. So you drop them in a box.
3. None have sufficient postage and it's grossly insufficient. This is ignored.
4. The stamps aren't canceled, despite being protocol to do so.
5. The packages do not have a barcode routing label added to them (which is also protocol for a stamped package) -- not one of them.
6. They then pass through multiple mail handling facilities and nobody flags them for any of the above, nor do any of the automated machines (including the postage insufficiency .vs. weight)
7. Finally, a courier is said to have delivered the one to CNN -- not the mailman. How'd he get it?
So you want to know what happened? Here's the most likely probability stack-up.
Nutbag mails the packages. They are caught immediately at the origin PO and, since none have adequate postage, they're not sent onward -- nor is the postage canceled. At this point someone gets very suspicious (gee, you think?) and one of them is opened. The authorities are contacted.
Now you'd think the immediate next act is to trace the sender via whatever means you can and arrest him. Nope, because that wouldn't fit the FBI's narrative and their desire to destroy the Administration -- Trump is bad, Trump is evil, Trump is a Nazi, Trump is inspiring people to violence, etc.
So they hand-deliver the packages instead, having inspected them and knowing they are harmless.
This explains the courier at CNN, it explains none of them have canceled stamps, and it explains how they traveled through the system without having tracking barcodes added to the non-machine addresses and postage. They didn't travel through the system -- the FBI transported them instead, by hand and on purpose knowing full well what they were.
They thus got their optics.
It also explains who nobody went bananas at CNN and instead took a picture of the damn thing. The courier knew it wasn't a bomb and so did all the LEOs involved. Since they knew it wasn't dangerous they were not in any way concerned about standing next to it taking pictures for the media. Nobody in their right effing mind stands next to what they believe is an active and armed explosive device.
