pictures are taken by sorting machines of every piece of mail that goes through usps. that data is retained by the usps for a period of time, and is open to ‘law enforcement’ on request; and who knows what really happens to that data when the usps doesn’t want to hold it any longer.











my guess is someone big wants it and offered to pay enough to fund it, so canonical is just opening up the same support timeframe to anyone willing cough-up some cash.
