Those reports of DHS opening packages did not involve the Post office, but other shipments.

“Not to mention that little room in the basement where demoted NSA hacks steam them open.”

They cut them open. I was surprised to see wrong address National Day of Prayer invitations returned - all opened and apparently scrutinized.

In fact one was returned in late June that was placed in a envelope. It had been opened too.

LOL! They are watching you now!

They've been watching me for a LOOOOONG time. When my kids were in elementary school I'd go up there and introduce myself by saying "Hi, I'm your Friendly Neighborhood Right-Wing Extremist!"

Who said there is no warrant?

I didn't say that there was or wasn't. The post to which I was responding was without qualification on that topic. I was inquiring as to whether he approved of surveillance against ELF without one as the current tendency of the Feds is to operate without proper authorization, which was the allusion in the topic of the thread.

The word, ‘Behemoth’ comes to mind. Good point about the Post Office’s being broke.

“he was a spokesman for the Earth Liberation Front”

He should be locked up for that alone.

Interesting.

When doing deliveries like that where postage is affixed but the letter does not go through the post office, is one allowed to use the mail box of the recipient?

Does the letter enjoy protection against theft as does other mail at that point?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Haven’t you ever heard of ELF? They are eco terrorist group and have been around for a long, long time.

Makes you wonder why the NYSlimes chose this guy to write about?

Great post, Crazieman.

I was a “Casual” Mail Handler in Portland, Oregon for three six month tours during the early 00’s.

My timing was perfect.

After I left in 2003 they cut the pay, ended all OT, and the Unions got ultra strict about what Casuals could or could not do.

My most valuable skill was that I had the temperament and the maturity to get along with all the “Lifers,” even the completely insane ones.

ELF is a terrorist group. If he is/was a member I HOPE someone’s watching him.

The left would consider FReepers to be terrorists, do you hope they are watching us without warrants/due process?

If someone here is blowing up people and their property, yes.

I assume there is no one here doing that.

If only it were that simple. Do you really think the folks in power do not consider us to be some kind of threat?

You are confusing and mixing issues. There really are people trying to kill us. The fact that there really are bureaucracies trying to enslave us doesn’t mean we let the terrorists run wild.
