Even if the government has a warrant? The article you linked to seems to say the government can do it with a warrant:
>By law, first-class mail is sealed against inspection, meaning that government officials may not open it without first getting a warrant from a judge.
- chii 3y agoI assumed that was implied - that is a warrant is always required for opening letters (first class mail), unless there are some specific circumstances that are outlined in the clauses mentioned on the page (which are related to foreign mail).
- Thorrez 3y agoThen the obvious question is: can the government view your notifications without a warrant? If not, then the notifications are at least as private from the government as first class mail.
