I always feel like somebody's watching me!

The President slipped a fast one past us, signing a kind of executive order claiming the right to open people's mail to snoop on potential terrorist activity, as if terrorists are stupid enough to use the mails to deliver incriminating stuff. On the other hand, it's incredibly unlikely that the feds would bother to look at the mail of 99.999% of you. And if they want to look at my mail, all they'll find is credit card bills and endless Capital One credit card applications.

Hat Tip to Perry Simon

The USPS says there's nothing to worry about.

Comment on President’s signing statement accompanying Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act “As has been the longstanding practice, First-Class Mail is protected from unreasonable search and seizure when in postal custody. Nothing in the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act changes this protection. The President is not exerting any new authority.”
-Thomas Day, Senior Vice President, Government Relations
