Description
Information on Postal Service logging of citizens' mail via photocopying the exterior of paper mail and parcels..."'It's a treasure trove of information', said (former F.B.I. agent)...'Looking at just the outside of letters and other mail, I can see who you bank with, who you communicate with - all kinds of useful information...investigators...can then follow up on with a subpoena...you don't have to go through a judge to get the information. You just fill out a form.'"
