Nonymous Mail. It's a simple

Nonymous Mail. It's a simple idea: Encode a unique serial number into every postage stamp, then record the identity of every person who buys a stamp and associate that identity with the stamp's serial number in a database. Then, every letter you receive will be traceable back to the person who bought the stamp. It's also a stupid idea: If the Post Awful is limping now, "smart stamps," with their ridiculous purchase ritual (fuming in line because all of the stamp-machines are gone and waiting while the clerk punches in the name, addy, DOB, SSN, etc of the person ahead of you, pecking at his keyboard with two fingers at glacier speed) will be a major amputation. What problem will this solve, anyway? Relative to manufacturing untraceable anthrax, fooling bored postal employees with fake ID when you buy the postage is trivial.LinkDiscuss
