The Post Office is Spying on You. Yes, the Post Office

The Mail Cover Program has almost no oversight, no legal backing, and nobody to tell the Post Office to just stop.

I’ve written in the past about the US Postal Service’s (USPS) so-called Mail Cover Program.   It allows postal employees to photograph and send to federal law enforcement organizations (FBI, DHS, Secret Service, etc.) the front and back of every piece of mail the Post Office processes. It also retains the information digitally and provides it to any government agency that wants it—without a warrant.  I’m not an attorney, of course.  But I’m also not an idiot.  And that policy strikes me as a violation of Americans’ civil liberties.
