Does the government record data from regular mail?

You're now on the NSA watchlist

I mean, it can't be that hard to program a scanner to do that

Didn't an article come out in the last year that all mail is scanned?

Try this out:

USPS

You can get an email with scans showing you what letter sized mail you will be receiving that day.

I guessing the scans are kept for a little while.

That's exactly what I was thinking about

Yes they do.

There was a show earlier this year, 'Hunted'. There were several intel agents, LEOs and other government officials brought in to try and find contestants.

Several methods were revealed in how the government gathers info/data on the US citizenship of America.

Every bit of snail-mail is scanned and stored in a data base somewhere.

They know everything. You are being watched, listened to, or scanned in some way every waking moment of your day. Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean they aren't watching you.

On that note, I plan on going to Colorado, buying some weed legally, and then mailing a sizeable amount of said weed back to myself in North Carolina. What's the best way to go about hiding that?
