Is mail sent from foreign embassies within the U.S. protected in any way, similar to the contents of a diplomatic bag? Does it make any sense that someone associated with the Saudi Embassy in D.C. would use an official letter to exfil sensitive documents like the pilot certificate? Sure doesn't seem like a wise move, but some sort of legal protections might make the scenario more plausible.
- dsl 10y agoEmbassies worldwide often mail letters (party invitations, a check to pay for power, etc) using the postal services of host countries. The vast majority transmit anything sensitive by diplomatic courier. I suspect in this case the document was simply placed in an envelope and not actually mailed, while the individual responsible didn't realize the consequences of using an branded envelope.
