Bush Claims Mail Can Be Opened Without Warrant

[Shinobi]

don_combatant writes to note that President Bush claimed new powers to search US Mail without a warrant. He made this claim in a "signing statement" at the time he signed a postal overhaul bill into law on December 20. The signing statement directly contradicts part of the bill he signed, which explicitly reinforces protections of first-class mail from searches without a court's approval. According to the article, "A top Senate Intelligence Committee aide promised a review of Bush's move."
