What a waste of assets. Why worry about someone's mail when a few thousand people simply walk across the border every day.

And I bet it took 3 people all day to open it and at least 3 additional lawyers were consulted. Our tax money hard at work...

Don't get me wrong...some people's mail probably needs to be opened, but you've got to have your priorities straight. We've got 10,000+ Chinese engaged in espionage in this country, all manner of undesirables crossing our borders at will, and 10 MILLION illegal aliens from every country on Earth, and we're reading the mail from "an 81-year-old retired University of Kansas history professor", and stopping 8 year old kids and Congressmen at the airport because they're on a "no-fly" list of possible terrorists. We're confiscating fingernail clippers and butane lighters while tons of drugs flow through our borders relatively freely. We hire Border Patrol Agents to sit overwatch and count the number of illegals crossing into the U.S., but forbid them from actually apprehending them as they cross. We allow "leaks" to disclose Top Secret/SCI programs and risk grave damage to National Security with impunity, but we instantly arrest anyone who gets upset when some former Mc Donalds counterperson who now works for TSA feels up his wife's breasts. We allowed a former President to sell our National Security to the Chinese for cash contributions, ignore THAT, and become outraged because he got a freaking blowjob. Our priorities are based on puplic opinion, even though half the public are slack-jawed morons. It's time we laid our priorities out in some logical fashion. First and foremost should be the issue of our open borders. If the bad guys can move a heavily armed Battalion across our borders each and every night, that's a much bigger threat than a letter.
