We are all getting a taste of what it is like in other countries and you have no right to complain because you all did nothing while your rights were taken away. I get my mail opened ALL THE TIME. It is clear the monkey at the Homeland check point is unable to even read a x-ray of an envelope. This is why more and more people are using encrypted e mails instead of "normal" mail; cheaper and none of this crap from the "government" saying it is for your safety - yea right... The time square incident - Homeland Security HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH STOPPING WHAT HAPPENED.. Only LUCK AND GOD stopped what could have happened..

A CD from the UK that had the lable of the CD house on it clearly. It was in a CD size brown wrapper, and when I got it the green tape tried to hide the fact that they damaged my property by slashing thru the CD case. So then why did they open my mail today?

Words can only be taken for face value, and even less than that really. As to whether or not it could have been 'stuffed' with something, I make no judgement.

I always thought that The Nation's advertisers used crappy envelopes. Plus, I really didn't think I was that interesting.

How would one get steroids into an envelope such as the one seen here? Without it being noticed? I would think there would be a bulge or something obvious like that if you stuck a bunch of pills in an envelope. And I'm having a hard time picturing an 80 year old Catholic nun mailing steroids.

They were simply looking for drugs. A lot of steriods are mailed from the Philippines and the opening of the mail intercepts them. The inspector did the right thing by putting the green tape around the envelope to let the customer know that the Government had examined their mail. Again, Homeland Security is a joke, but in this instance everything was done right!!! As much as I believe there is Homeland Stupidity, the opening of this letter is not the case.
