From the New York Times, "U.S. Postal Service Logging All Mail for Law Enforcement":

Quote from: Ron Nixon

The Mail Isolation Control and Tracking program was created after the anthrax attacks in late 2001 that killed five people, including two postal workers. Highly secret, it seeped into public view last month when the F.B.I. cited it in its investigation of ricin-laced letters sent to President Obama and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. It enables the Postal Service to retrace the path of mail at the request of law enforcement. No one disputes that it is sweeping.

In the past, mail covers were used when you had a reason to suspect someone of a crime, said Mark D. Rasch, who started a computer crimes unit in the fraud section of the criminal division of the Justice Department and worked on several fraud cases using mail covers. Now it seems to be, Lets record everyones mail so in the future we might go back and see who you were communicating with. Essentially youve added mail covers on millions of Americans.

I am having some trouble seeing the problem with this. What is US Mail being used for anyway? Less each year. Although they are trying to stay alive by underpricing vs FE and UPS in package delivery.

So then, they are implementing tracking control - poorly - that FE and UPS had all along?

WTF?

Kidding? You are failing to see a problem here?

So FE and UPS are/already were equally objectionable?
