Iirc, I read elsewhere a few months back, something about every single item going through the postal service being photographed and the photo (of the addresses of sender and receiver) stored. And, actually, that there was scanning technology that allowed many types of ink to be read through envelopes, even 'security' ones, although I can't recall if the article was saying the post office was using such in any case, or just if it was available, if the need arose.
