Read this a few days ago (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/04/us/monitoring-of-snail-mail.html?hp&_r=1&&pagewanted=all), but haven't seen mentioned of it on here. Worth a read.

It is sad to watch the U.S. descend on almost a daily basis.

The future, as it relates to human rights and freedoms, looks sinister indeed.

The drones are already overhead.

So I should use the receivers address as the return address.

It is not only the US.

PRISM is also troubling. Here (http://www.securityweek.com/why-im-not-very-worried-about-prism) is one way of dealing with it. The truth is you have no privacy and should assume that you are always being watched. They know when you rent or buy 1984 or Fahrenheit 451. Of course, you can still be tracked by your cell phone. This is one example (http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-data-retention/) provided by a fellow in Germany. The cellular providers know where you are and where you have been. Governments also have access to this information. Thinking about leaving your cell phone at home or turning it off to avoid being tracked? Your movements can be traced by the license plate (http://cironline.org/reports/license-plate-readers-let-police-collect-millions-records-drivers-4883) on your car.
