It could be something worse than terrorism. It might contain alcohol or dope, or
perhaps even worse French photographs of naked women; pornography.
About the senders address at the back. I quite sure that US Mail would not
forward a letter that lacks the senders address, it would be positively
indecent.
Welcome to the world of glass-post.

It's called a return address.
If the address the article is meant for
doesn't exist, the post office can return it back to the original
source.
Another use is to let the sender know the individual they
intended their mail for is not at the address. I've sent many an article back
to the source marked with the original recipient scratched out and the words
"return to sender, individual not an occupant".
Like post cards: no one
should ever view what's marked on the outside of the article they send through
mail as private.

A further thought on the 'Return Address'.
Well three actually.
1) Who knows if the return address is real or even exists.
2) Could the return address be deliberately used to incriminate another person
in a crime? (the well, you sent this letter to this known/suspected
criminal/terrorist argument)
3) could an incorrect zip code in the address be used as a code amongst
terrorists. You send a commercial greetings card but use an incorrect zip code
that tells the recipient 'keep away, the feds are on to me'.
Nah, better off not to use it. If you don't then posting a letter could still be
anonymous unless the CCTV cameras catch you that is.
Bruce Scheiner's posts are certainly very apt at the moment.
