I believe millions more nudes are sent via snap/watsap/etcetc every day then are sent in the mail in a year.. with "extremely low false negative rate" - if that

I believe millions more nudes are sent via snap/watsap/etcetc every day then are sent in the mail in a year.. with "extremely low false negative rate" - if that means there are a bunch of geeks and agents staring at your wife/gf.. your daughter/ etc.. is that okay? Some people will say yes - but I don't think those people should get to decide that all the other people in the world have to hand over all the nudes and dick pics everyone else has taken. when they open mail with drugs and weapons it's most likely not a sculpture of your wife's genitals / daughter's tits, pics of your hemorrhoids / erectile implant - whatever other private pic stuff that no one else should be peering at. If they were opening and reading every written word sent and received - I can guarantee you people would be up in arms about it.

> I believe millions more nudes are sent via snap/watsap/etcetc every day then are sent in the mail in a year. I know for sure this is true, but this BS scenario was still used as a rebuttal against my comment, so I figured I'd give them an actual answer. > when they open mail with drugs and weapons it's most likely not ... other private pic stuff that no one else should be peering at. People order a lot of stuff that is very private online. From self help books, to dilos (which show up clearly on x-ray), to buttless chaps. If anything, packages are probably more private than mail these days, since people only mail postcards and bills. > If they were opening and reading every written word sent and received - I can guarantee you people would be up in arms about it. They would. But this is completely incomparable to what's happening on iOS devices now.

  Maybe some crossed wires in the discussion - I thought your initial reply was in regard to what gp wrote about letters - and then you were saying about xrays and weapons and drugs.. which generally are not an issue with letters.. think I brought too many examples in basically trying to say flat paper.. yeah I think most people assume boxes/packages are xrayed/scanned by usps - and people do still send stuff they would not want public that way. we are in agreement in that "They would. But this is completely incomparable to what's happening on iOS devices now."
