...about 160 billion pieces last year... despite the mass and ubiquitous surveillance happening at this point in history -- you know, Big Brother camera is on every corner and the NSA taps every phone and gov-corp surveillance is in most every computer and every transaction you make is recorded -- still, the Kougaress has to admit she was mind blown-shocked that the United States Post Office photographs the outside of every piece of mail they handle... really, why? ... how much intel could you really gather? And one could make the assumption that this is a fairly costly operaton... solution: raise stamp prices... so, of course, we're all paying to be spied on... and, gee, if you don't get your mail... or someone doesn't get your letter... well, can you subpoena this info in a court case??? and discover if there is a photo of it? Thus proving the United Post Office lost it somewhere along the line, or it was stolen by one of their employees.
