U.S. Postal Inspection Service data reveals they approved 10k warrantless law enforcement requests to record: names, addresses, and other info from mail of suspected criminals.
In 2004-2006 99.5% of requests were approved.
These requests can cover multiple letters and packages for the same suspect.
Luckily the government has lost their latest battle
to read Yahoo emails of "suspected criminals" without first obtaining a warrant to do so.
But as with all things, time will tell if they intend to press the issue.
