| Privatizing the PO would make it far easier to open mail. The private carriers can legally open anything you pay them to ship at any time with no warrant. Even with Bush's signing statement, it's still much harder to open USPS mail than to open privately-shipped mail.
The main problem across the board seems to me to be that governments are acting more and more like corporations and corporations are acting more and more like governments. There were instances of private security officers patrolling the streets of New Orleans after Katrina- a PRIVATE army carrying rifles patrolling streets of an American city! Were they vetted? Could they shoot to kill? Arrest citizens? By whose authority? And who gave the authority to that authority? Where is this headed?
