An old subject, but could someone please give me a pointer to the legalities of reading other peoples mail in the working environment.

Many thanks,

I doubt many others will offer answers to this one, so I will. The usual way to get authorization to read the mail of other people is to be officially deputized as a member of the Citizen's Morality Watch. Your local law enforcement office, or the FBI, can help you fill out the paperwork and get you the badge and ID card. (I signed up early, and have one of the ID cards signed by William Webster.) Once deputized, you are authorized to read whatever mail you may think a threat to the public consciousness. And when GAK arrives, you'll be duly authorized to gain access to escrowed keys. And to escrowed house keys, escrowed car keys, and escrowed diaries. This will finally give us the same measure of security that the Soviets had when babushkas and KGB men read one's mail, and that the Iranians now have with the Islamic Purity Patrols on the streets of Teheran. --Klaus! von Future Prime, avatar
