I see it as Royal Mail or Canada Post way before tech was draining the populace of money and resources. Anyone along the line could open your letter or lose it, but it rarely happened. People were more serious then, and honour and pride of workmanship existed. The default nowadays is "how can we spy on them and take more of their hard-earned cash".
Opening and searching people's mail was very illegal up until the last decade or so. Now there seems to be a big push to let the RCMP do whatever they want.
