USPS Operational Questions

So I heard from a friend that a big difference between Overnight/Express/Priority and First Class is that First Class mail does not use planes and only trains/trucks while the others use all. Also that First Class is the ONLY type of mail that is protected by our constitution, making it the most secure. Just wondering, thank you in advanced!

All USPS is federally protected. They must have a warrant to open anything USPS.

It doesn't really matter. If they think you're mailing drugs, they'll get a search warrant whether it's Express or First Class. But, I will say that Express mail is likely watched closer than first class, based on the fact that there's less Express parcels, making it easier to inspect them in greater detail.

Anything going on a plane is likely to be more closely watched, too.

I don't know how credible the source is, but this page has good information on what they can and cannot open without a warrant, in case anybody was wondering.
