I've previously been told of an occurance of secret people intercepting and reading postal mail in this country. Admittedly this occurred quite some time ago, but I'd be suprised if it wasn't still possible or being done. That's perhaps much closer to IMP/CCDP, but I suggest that it's quite an assumption that postal mail would never be subject to anything like this. Post can obviously be intercepted, diverted, or filtered on recipient address - most of it is mechanised and ultimately under computer control. If post can be intercepted and read it can, of course, also be filtered on content - not just address. Of course, once you're into electronic communications it's far easier to do this in a bulk/blanket/routine manner... d.
