Regardless of what your expectations are, it's not private. Just because you expect something to be private does not mean that it actually is.
- ComputerGuru 9y agoYes it is. USPS first class (ie regular not bulk) mail IS absolutely private and may not be opened by authorities without a warrant (and tampering with them by non authorities is a federal crime). What security agencies have done is scan and collect all envelope info (metadata) which was ruled to be not private (makes sense) but with powerful enough cameras, lights, and enhancement software that most letters sent in standard envelopes can leak their contents.
