3. Start? rofl
The lesson should be clear: if there's something they shouldn't do, NEVER assume they haven't already done it.

7. I got an opened bank statement, but that must have been
someone else. I mean, they can just get my bank info directly from the bank anyway, right?

8. A lot of mine are already opened
at least the ones with left wing return addresses. They're all fundraising pleas, so I doubt HHS is particularly edified by the contents.

As long as they're wasting time on people like me, they're distracted from going after the real enemies of this country, the estimated 75 sleeper cells already here and awaiting orders to strike.

But fascists always have a terror of the left, never of other fascists.

12. They're Already Doing It!
A few months ago I had mail arrive way late, and much of it had been opened and resealed in those USPC clear envelopes with a rubber-stamped generic apology on them. It happened to three piece of mail in one month, and then a few more over the next couple months. Don't say they *might* do it, they already are!

BTW - this was correspondence from my family, plus payments from clients. The "goods" always came through (except once), but took more than an extra week to arrive, and each time the envelopes had all been very carefully slit open. It wasn't people messing with my mailbox - these came from the PO that way re-packaged in USPC envelopes.
