Something alot of people don't realize. UPS, Fedex, etc. they can open your mail if they want to, without any legal steps taken.

USPS on the other hand has to get a warrant if they want to open your mail, due to it being a government agency. Which means they need probable cause.

Shipping illegal crap through USPS is a felony, but if you're prosecuted for it and the USPS never got a warrant to open your mail, you're in the clear.

Happy to be proven wrong.

Don't know about USPS, but in other countries they open your mail all the time, even registered mail, especially if they suspect they can find some cash inside so they can steal it and dispose of the rest.
