Scared? Or a new way to track you?

Hmm, this seems interesting to me. When they say "ID", do they mean more than the return addr? This still wont fix the issue of dangerous chemicals. Someone still has to touch the envelopes.

The report said "intelligent mail" could allow mail tracking and "significantly improve mail security through enhanced traceability."

www.cnn.com...

Won't work!

That has too many flaws! It'll increase security by a little but not enough to help anything...

I agree that it has many flaws. But we have been known to give up a few freedoms for supposed increased safety.

I am in no way worried about something like this. At least not in the near future. Specially since I only mail 1 thing a month, and well the gas company already knows where I live.

Its just interesting the means that those in charge want to go to, to try and remove some of our freedoms by saying they are protecting us. I can't see of any cheap and easy way to do what they are proposing. I can think of a hard and expensive way though.

Forget that! I'm going to try to crash on an island with my future wife and get away from "security" We'll have more security on a far away island then the best prison in america!

Hmm, maybe I should offer my thoughts on this tracking and charge a huge fee. So once its all done, I could buy an island and make my own country.

Are you the type to steal freedoms from the citizens? If not, I'd like to become a citizen of your country, crayon.

Heck no, no stealing. At least not from our citizens. Anything that benefits us is allowed.

Yep i feel i am being tracked.

Don't even use the mail system anymore...pay all bills using online payments systems. Haven't licked a stamp in years...hehe.

Hehe, don't need to lick stamps anymore. They have self adhesive stamps now.

...Email can be tracked much more quickly & easily than snail-mail letters...
