The Mail Isolation Control and Tracking (MICT) program is only one of a few programs used to track snail mail.
Its actually a fairly simple program that uses a high speed digital camera to photograph front and back of all envelopes passing through some USPS hubs.
While the system isn’t known to see inside the envelope, that technology does exist.
Maybe the old steam open the envelop method that the Stasi used, as shown in the movie “The Lives of Others.”
Why not, Holder holds Markus Wolf in such high esteem.
