How can a postal money order be "bad"?  They aren't issued until you give the USPS the money to cover them.

Forged, faked, or stolen.

Your better off murdering a Cop than bumping into a mailman.

Maybe we should tell the USPS that illegals are stealing mail.

in you compare min time in jail, you can actaully rob a bank 3 time and be half way thru the 3rd sentence when its time to get out if you rob a post office.  One of those really old laws that was created when the post office carryed payroll.

TAB is right, it goes back to the Teen's and Twenties, when they had to put armed Marine guards in the Mail cars on trains.

The lure of robbing mail because of pay rolls yes. But while I'm not positive, I am pretty sure that the legal sanctions part of it only dates back to the beginning of the 20th century.
Prior to that the Railroads themselves handled it by hiring groups like the Pinkerton Detective Agency (We never sleep ) to hunt them down and kill them.
If you have a reference that says otherwise I'd be happy see it.
