The USPS is a business (well not technically... but it's close enough to call it that for now) that's purpose is to deliver mail. It can not be held accountable if someone uses it's service illegally with out its knowledge. You as an individual are accountable if you do something illegal; especially so if you had reason to believe you were doing something illegal in the first place.

If that was true then the postal system would be in trouble, since I am sure most people within the USPS acknowledge that illegal materials (such as child pornography) are probably transmitted through the postal system, yet they do not open every letter and every package to prevent this from occurring, nor are they expected to.
