Packages With "Explosive Contents" Discovered At Washington D.C. Military Buildings

[Swordsmyth]

Up to six suspicious packages have been discovered at military and intelligence agency buildings in the capitol area. NBC 4 (https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/Suspicious-Packages-Found-at-Several-Military-Installations-in-DC-Area-477970913.html) reports that the military is investigating the packages, one of which was shipped to the National Defense University at Ft. McNair in DC. A suspicious package was received around 8:30 am - prompting officials to evacuate the building.
The package tested positive for black powder, according to Ft. McNair. An X-ray showed what appeared to be a GPS and a fuse. But the package was deemed safe and the building was cleared at around 1:15 pm. The components are being investigated.
A suspicious package sent to Ft. Belvoir in Virginia Monday afternoon contained liquid in a vial and a circuit board. It was also deemed to be safe after a brief investigation.
It's not clear if either was an actual working explosive device.
Another suspicious package is under investigation at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington DC.
There are also reports of suspicious packages at the CIA, a Secret Service mail processing facility and a Navy base in Richmond.
It’s not clear if the packages are linked to each other, but officials said they are not linked to the recent bombings in Austin, Texas.

You don't need knowledge in chemistry, electronics an' shit. To cause mayhem send hundreds of packages with liquids and an old clock to military and irs installations. Not only is it cheap (use water, buy clocks and wires at a flea market or garage sale), you can't blow yourself up... Stuff some fire crackers in it, for shits and giggles and K-9.
watch and learn...

On the night of March 26, authorities in Washington State arrested a man in connection with a series of suspicious packages that were found earlier in the day at military bases in the Washington, D.C. area.
Thanh Cong Phan was arrested at his home in Everett, Washington, NPR said, citing a statement from the FBI. The suspect was taken into custody by FBI agents from the Seattle field office and Snohomish County sheriff's deputies around 12 hours after the first package was discovered.
Phan was scheduled to appear later Tuesday in federal court in the western district of Washington State. Authorities released no further information about Phan, but his name is Vietnamese.

So I'm trying to figure out what crime has been committed.

Is it illegal to send somebody a box containing a pinch of black powder, a bottle of dish soap and a circuit board?

Malicious mischief?

Mischief or malicious mischief is the specific name for different criminal offenses in a number of different jurisdictions. While the wrongful acts will often involve what is popularly described as vandalism, there can be a legal differentiation between the two. The etymology of the word comes from Old French meschief, which means "misfortune", from meschever, "to end badly".https://duckduckgo.com/assets/icons/favicons/wikipedia.2x.pngMore at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischief)

It's not harassment:

Harassment, under the laws of the United States, is defined as any repeated or continuing un-consented contact that serves no useful purpose beyond creating alarm, annoyance, or emotional distress.
