So apparently President Carter thinks the government is incapable of intercepting a typed or hand written letter that is handed to the Postal Service for delivery. He hasn’t gotten any smarter, has he?

Each and every postal item is photographed, and tracked to a degree. This alone could yield interesting metadata.
As kid’s, we used to write a dummy message on the faceside of the letter and on the backside we wrote the real message in secret ink (lemon juice).
The recipient, then used heat (mom, can I borrow a candle) to de-cypher the real message on the backside.
To be extra secure we encrypted the real message using our encoder/decoder rings (free from a well known cereal manufacturer) and a key which the recipient had to find by trial and error before the message would make sense.
Double secure. You bet. Fun. You bet.
Sorry, no Internet or TV...4th graders had to do something besides build model planes and play Monopoly back then. Maybe Jimmah is having a flashback or something.
I thought the same thing. Maybe he thinks if he doesn’t put his return address on the envelope the feds won’t know it’s from him.
that was my first thought, what a maroon he is....
