Since 1879, law enforcement has been legally permitted to view the outside of every citizen’s mail without a warrant and digitally store it. With a warrant, they can view the inside; without a warrant, but with a claim that it’s for “national security purposes,” they can also view the contents inside—all without your knowledge or consent. This is via their Mail Covers Program.

Other surveillance programs run through the USPS include:

Mail Isolation Control and Tracking (MICT) wherein “an automated system photographs the exterior of every piece of mail processed in the U.S. and retains images for a period of time;” and

Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP): The Postal Inspection Service (the law enforcement arm of the USPS). Google states that the USPS has been criticized for using this program to conduct open-source intelligence gathering, including monitoring social media, for purposes beyond traditional postal crimes.
