I suspected this months ago, and I pointed out how trivial it would be to log addresses on reddit. I was called a conspiracy theory nutcase.
I'll go one further: the high-speed sorting machines for envelopes could easily be modified to photograph the interior of envelopes and that this is already happening. You only need to shine a light through them to do this.

- jqm 12y agoRight? I thought the guy in story looked familiar. Sure enough, same article from a year ago.

- giardini 12y agoThat would be one way. But perhaps the tears in wfunction's envelopes are used to insert a light/camera and the contents of the documents therein scanned. I wouldn't think it difficult to design a device to automatically scan most mailed documents in this manner.
