Going Postal for Big Brother

This postal surveillance program sounds shady as hell. FOX31 Denver found one camera disguised as a utility box that "was positioned to capture and record the license plates and facial features of customers leaving a Golden Post Office." Within an hour of the local news station's discovery, the Postal Inspection Service had ripped it out of the ground, though the force later admitted that it had a "number of cameras at their disposal."

I had occasion to be at a courthouse recently and went through the waddler-imposed (those guys aren't missing many meals) TSA-style kabuki performance, and the mailman came with the day's delivery. They waved him right through.

Nice to know they have Only Ones privileges, too, although I admit they do generally handle family dogs a lot better than the thick blue line.
