(84,711 posts)I consider my E-Mails like mailing a letter. They can look at the Send and To if they have a Court Order....but, not the "Opening Statement" in my Letter to anyone...which is what Subject Line is in an E-Mail. It's like opening up your letter and looking at your first line sentence to whom you are sending the letter.
You are trying to say they then "seal the envelope back up" and never read the REST of the LETTER. I say...NO...they are reading without Warrent a huge Group of Selected E-Mails because someone you know or just got on a List Serve with or any other Group and some "suspected terrorist" is on that list....so they READ MY E-Mail for Subject line and then Further.
Until it's proven differently ....I believe they are going after as much data as they can catalog to store it in sophisticated buildings they are already looking for financing for AFTER UTAH Facility fills up!
