The USPS is monitoring social media. Unconstitutional? Illegal? Maybe just another example of mission creep.

The only way this makes any sense at all is if they were looking for
people who might be sending letter bombs or poisons through the mail.
Both have happened and it might be a concern for the safety of the
postal workers. Other than that it makes no sense.

Even then it makes no sense. We shouldn't have a whole bunch of agencies monitoring
the internet for bad actors. We should have one and if they see something, then they
should forward it to the appropriate agency to investigate further, if necessary.



OTOH after 74 trips around the sun I had found out plenty of things
the federal government does not have to make sense.
