Is your privacy dissapearing like first class mail? Are your electronic messages
really private? Would you send important financial information to your brother
knowing that it would be scanned by an agency? Like to g____le? Like being
Monitered/Archived?
How about private phone conversations? Are you sure they are private? Do you think the criminal element discusses business by e-mail or phone? No, but
we all do in expectation of privacy.
The Postal Service is lampooned daily by media and comedians. But "snail
mail" is still private mail. Legal documents, tax statements, insurance policies.
licenses and printed notices to the public plus a myriad of paperwork you need
comes to you via the "snail". As a former letter carrier I cringe when I hear it
but since it is part of the nationwide jargon I may as well use it in this capacity.
Our mail is the only way to be certain what you want to say to anyone is private
*caveat* I have had legal Postal correspondence addressed to my home
opened by a Postmaster prior to receiving it. He would have never tampered
with a patron's mail though since he could have been prosecuted.
*tip* When sending sensitive mail use the security envelopes and superglue
closure so that tampering will be evident.
*tip* Never mail jewelry except by Registered Mail. Airport theives scan
parcels looking for concealed valuables. I was a victim of this once.
I'm not privy to all electronic invasions of privacy but this morning I received
a message from an investment blogger warning of g____le's archiving.
