Mail & the Law

Does anyone have any information about the U.S. government and the privacy of someone's mail? I believe someone had opened a package of books I received. The company I ordered from usually has the books in a shrink-wrapped type of packaging inside of a box. The end of the box was opened and the wrapping had been opened with the books laying loose inside of the box. Maybe I'm just paranoid but as the saying goes "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean their not out to get you."
I wasn't doing something illegal, I was just looking for information. Should I be expecting the DEA to pay me a visit or what? This isn't the first time this has happened.

Contact the company your ordered from and see what they say. Depending on the outcome of that call you may have to contact the postal service and let them know what happened. Could be a thief in their midst.

hrm...
if it came in an amazon box, it's likely a carrier who's trying to snipe shipments.
I would report it.
if the popo were going through your shit, you wouldn't know it.

Unless they want me to know it, right? BTW, I do have a record. But nothing in the last 20 years except for being questioned.

what else are you up to that would make you believe that the authorities would have any reason to overtly rifle through your mail?

This is your best course of action. The book company does not give a shit what you are ordering otherwise it wouldn't be offered. They may have been having trouble with packaging. Call and ask. It will only take a couple minutes.
If it's not a problem on their end, I can guarantee that the post office will want to know there is someone going through mail. Be sure to act real beligerent and demand justice if it goes to this point. In person would be the best.

Nothing. Other than things in my distant past I really can't think of anything unless it's my political beliefs. I am rather outspoken to my friends about my sort of quasi-anarchist beliefs.
