Carrier Accused of Warning Customer About 'Mail Cover'
Surveillance
"Here's a good reason to remember your postal carrier at
Christmas time. Apparently, he or she can tell you if the
government is secretly monitoring your mail. Federal
prosecutors in Detroit say letter carrier Darlene Cry
illegally tipped off a postal customer that he was the subject
of a "mail cover" -- a form of warrantless surveillance in
which the envelope information on every card and letter
received is secretly recorded by the Post Office, then passed
to federal law enforcement or intelligence officials." -
