USPS "lost" a domestic priority package?

I had a package shipped within the US via USPS Priority (2-3 days) with tracking and all that good stuff. It has now been 7 days. After the first two days, it got to within 90 miles of my house to a Post Office, was scanned out, and has now been "missing" for 5 days. I've talked extensively with the post office supervisor, and all they can tell me is that it likely got sorted wrong and sent to the wrong part of the country, and so I'll have to wait until it's been scanned again somewhere. Otherwise I'm just plain out of luck.
But also, there's sensitive material in the package, so I'm worried it's been picked up by LE somehow. It seems aweful random that this one time they somehow lose a Priority mail that was also registered so I had to sign for it. No one seems to know where it is or what happened to it.
So my question is, should I just drop it and call it lost money? It was a substantial amount of money spent, but I don't want to attract too much attention. Should I drop the issue and forget about it? Is there anyway this could come back to haunt me months down the line, because it is driving me crazy. I haven't been able to focus.

It's only been 7 days. I've has priority mail take up to 2 weeks to arrive on a few occasions after being misrouted and bounced around the country. It happens.

Seems to me there was an incident a few weeks ago where a poster complained of losing a package. Then, posted that he was going to do a trace on it.
Folks on the board said "Gee, that's stupid".
But he followed up. You can do a search on his thread "Its not worth it" where he posted about LE showing up at his place of work.
I have no experience in such things, but I would think that asking the USPS to find your "lost" package would be the link that would connect you to the item and its contents.
As opposed to being able to say "I have no idea what that is, never heard of it". You would now be trying to say, "well, yeah, I had a lost package, didn't know what it was, just ths darn tracking number and I have no idea where THAT came from. Thought it was (fill in your best lie here) Imagine my suprise!"
Just let it go, if you get it, you get it...
