9. Airlines are required to open and inspect all cargo...

packages and containers before they go on to the plane, but I haven't heard of mail being opened before. It's another 9/11 thing.

This is more than disturbing since all mail is supposed to be inviolate, but it could possibly be some airline employees opening the parcel post packages along with all the others. Mail, incuding packages, normally goes on commercial airliners as cargo even if it's not stamped as airmail.
