Does the NSA / DEA / other law enforcement group(s) have an electronic database of all mail sent to my address?

I've heard that mailing labels on all shipped packages / letters are photographed / OCR'd by automated equipment in postal facilities. Based on this, do you think there is a database showing all mail that has been sent to an address?

Here is my question:

Let's say that I get a package with a controlled substance mailed to me by a vendor that uses a return label for a fake company. I receive the package without any problem. However, my address and the return address for the fake company are recorded in this database.

In the same time period that I receive my package, another person who received a package with a controlled substance from the same fake company return address was caught.

Based on this... has my address been permanently flagged? All it would take is a single weak link compromise dozens or hundreds of drops.

Most vendors seem to use fake addresses / fake companies for at least a week or two... using a fake address / fake company more than once seems like a serious safety issue.

What do you guys think? If you see this kmfkewm (whoever you might be now) I'd be interested in hearing what you think.

[2 Points] None:

All US mail is photographed and a database is kept.

There is certainly a level of sophistication in software engineering that can complile all mail sent to/from an address without manual entry of the information. It is probably unlikely that all addresses are instantly complied and given separate lists for both addresses on the package, however it would be very easy for someone to sit at a keyboard and tell the database to make the complication.

TLDR: you probably don't have a complied list, but would be incredibly easy to create one from existing data with all mail sent historically and moving forward.

Yes. Postal Inspectors are able to access historical data on packages sent to an address.

No.

The USPS has lost packages from Los Angeles to Dallas. A company that fucks up an easy job most certainly doesn't have its shit together.

You have little reason to worry. Maybe remove anything you don't want found from your property if you're concerned, but Im sure you're fine
