I agree - this is a little like the post office opening up everyone's mail to 
check for chain letters, suspicious packages, illegal things like photocopied 
documents etc... If that happened there would be a public outcry. 
And anyone who thinks that they have the time to do it needs to get their 
tinfoil hat adjusted cos' it's squeezing their brain.
