Well, Forget the Anonymity of the Postal Service

They're recording the face of every envelope sent through the mail. It's called the Mail Isolation Control and Tracking program.

The Stasi would be so jealous of DasGov.

More and more, this pervasive surveillance is turning us from a nation of citizens to a nation of subjects.

  1. That one has probably been around in some form or another for a long time knowing these fuckers.
    Think grocery store scanner.
    That technology is ancient these days.

  2. So basically they can track everything that's delivered to you -- or been delivered to you over the past 5 years. Of course they already had a guy doing this (sort of), your local postal carrier, but this automates it.

    Somehow, though, I don't hear the bleating sheeple responding in any way other than to baaaa loudly, "protect us, kindly Big Brother, with your staff and rod!" Sigh. WASF.

  3. Anyone considered the implications of a state deciding to go through those records to see all the boxes from Amazon and comparing that to self-submitted sales taxes. Since you are required in most states to pay sales tax on the mail transaction.
