Letter Privacy Stronger Than e-mail

Letters provide a close, personal way to communicate with people around they world. Sealed up inside every envelope is an opportunity to receive correspondence in an intimate, tactile way. Nobody, other than the recipient, can touch it without permission or they’ll face pursuit by the Inspection Service. The same benefits don’t apply to e-mail.  A hacker can’t snatch letter mail anonymously out of the digital air, but if they successfully crack the password of an e-mail account, they can have access to everything in it. That includes all sent and received e-mails still stored in the account as well as contact information for everyone in an address book.
