The Ricin mailer was tracked using Mail scanners.
According to FBI Agent James Spiropoulos, investigators accessed a Postal Service computer system that incorporates a Mail Isolation Control and Tracking (MICT) program which photographs and captures an image of every mail piece that is processed. Agents were able to obtain front and back images of about 20 mail pieces that had been processed immediately before the mail piece addressed to Mayor Bloomberg.
