| #3 Still is warrantless search, the item will have a FROM Address and To address. While likely FAKE Sender and Vacant house delivery. The Gov. having got this approved can and will likely start testing the deeper waters. Like I said, congrats on the Bust, but I worry about the creeping use it likely will have under the LSD's. Eg. We already know the Fed's have been scanning Mae-West and Mae-East I-Traffic and etc. for about 18+ years for keywords. We know the Internet never forgets. |

| #2 They need a warrant to open first class mail (if they want any admissible evidence). That which is classified as commercial/bulk does not derive the same protection. |

| #1 I have mixed feelings about this. YES! I am overjoyed they found the Illegal Drugs and use the same process to stop explosives from getting on to Airplanes and / or for stopping other harmful actions. But conducting massive blanket, at will, Warrantless Searches or Searches without Probable Cause bothers me. Knowing, how a Government toe in the door increases to wider adapted use over time. Hell, We are already seeing Gov. SWAT Team raiding houses because a person knew a person, that knew a person and supports MAGA. |
