> I will trust the post office to open and scan my mail, far more than I will JRandomStartup

Interesting, my feeling is the opposite - I've lost count of the number of envelopes I've received that have been partially opened up to check if there are credit cards etc inside. I seem to remember seeing that one postal worker a day is caught stealing mail in the UK.

I would absolutely not trust the UK Post Office to open my mail.

Are there international stats? There aren't very many mail services I would trust, but I would trust the swiss one. Just a gut feeling, though.

but, JRandomStartup and PO will both draw from the same pool of people willing to do a shit job for low pay. In that pool the number of people willing to open a Xmas card for the cash inside is x%. The same x% chance must apply whomever opens your mail.
