let's say, hypothetically of course, that a colleague sent me a password to a server via email (gmail), so that password is then retrievable without a warrant from my email account because it was "shared" with the transmission medium? such a broad interpretation would apply to any and all communications where anyone delivers something on your behalf...so literally everything if fair game, i dont see a reason to specifically exclude USPS in such a case.
that's pretty scary.

- leeoniya 14y agomy personal favorites are the ones that send me my current password in plaintext as a form of "recovery"
