Ok, but what about private carriers like FedEx, UPS, etc.? Is using them an effective end-run for the paranoid? Asking for a friend.

- browserman 2y agoNo, they can and will open your mail at will if they think something fishy is going on. USPS can’t open anything without a warrant.
- kmoser 2y agoMy question was whether law enforcement typically requests the same data from private carriers that it does from USPS, not whether they open your mail.
- kvonhorn 2y agoI'm old enough to remember how companies all tripped over themselves trying to help the government spy on their customers after 9/11. I assume that every company that I do business with has an open pipeline to the government feeding in all the data it has about me.
