>Postal Inspectors

Those exist? I thought that nobody (including the government) was supposed to look at, touch, or investigate mail (except from prisons IIRC)

They're federal agents within the Postal Service.

Legally, you can't mail any "obscene, lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile article, matter, thing, device, or substance"

Interesting. How do porn magazines, fleshlights, etc ship?

Inside a brown paper package or envelope, unlike a postcard.

So the inspectors can only look at the packaging, not touch them?
