[Down1]

Approximately 160 billion envelopes, packages and postcards were photographed by the United States Postal Service last year, reports The New York Times.

It was done as part of the Mail Isolation Control and Tracking program, according to The Times, in which Postal Service computers take pictures of the exterior of every piece of mail that passes through the system.

It's one of two programs The Times says shows that postal mail is under similar surveillance to phone calls and emails by the National Security Agency
